SELLER NOW OFFERING $5,000 TOWARDS BUYER CLOING COST WITH AN ACCEPTED OFFER! Carpet in office room is being replaced this August and already paid for. Imagine ending every day with a soft breeze, open land, and a golden sunset- this is what nearly 3 private acres in one of the area's most sought-after locations actually feels like. Minutes from Fair Hill Nature Center, a short drive to Newark's Main Street and the University of Delaware, and an easy shot into Pennsylvania, the setting is rare. But it's the property itself that will stop you in your tracks. Outside, an 18x34 in-ground pool anchors a partially fenced backyard wrapped in mature trees, with a fire pit area, and patio that were made for summer evenings. Inside, the updated main level delivers a cozy country kitchen- granite counters, white cabinets, subway tile backsplash, new plank flooring, and stainless appliances- that flows into a open space eating area and family room with a wood stove and two glass sliders framing stunning rolling hill views. A mud room with vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and custom cabinetry connects to the two-car garage, plus a flexible bonus room works perfectly as a 4th bedroom or home office. Upstairs, the owners suite is anchored by a brick fireplace and barn-style closet doors, with a spa bath featuring a custom tile shower, dual vanity, and soaking tub with brass accents. Two additional bedrooms and a sun-filled loft area- ideal as a reading nook or creative space- round out the upper level. Head down to the basement and you'll find a finished rec room with new carpet and fresh paint, ready to use from day one. A separate unfinished section houses the HVAC and offers serious storage space- the kind that actually keeps the rest of the home clutter-free. Peaceful retreat and entertainer's dream, finally in one place.
Welcome home to this beautiful cape cod in Fair Hill on almost 3 acres just minutes to Newark. Just wait until you see the back yard oasis, 18' x 34" In-ground pool with slide and diving board, playground with new turf, firepit area, concrete patio with string lights and fully fenced yard surrounded by trees offering a secluded feel. Main floor offers open layout with updated kitchen with new plank flooring, white cabinets, granite counters, subway tile backsplash and stainless appliances. Kitchen opens to large dining area and family room that offers a wood stove and two new glass sliding doors that offer amazing views of rolling hills and wooded rear yard. Bonus room on main level could be used as 4th bedroom, home office or playroom. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms including owners suite with fireplace with brick surround, large closets with barn style door and a new bath with custom title shower with glass door, large dual vanity and soaking tub with brass accents.
