Wonderful opportunity to own almost a whole acre with a large home, fabulous back deck, and large fenced yard! The sellers just purchased this home early this year and unexpectedly need to move. They have done a lot of work on the home, but do not have time to finish as they prepare to move again. Home can be lived in as you finish the work, just as they are doing. Every part of this home is being used right now. There are 3 full baths. The upstairs bathroom has been remodeled. They began painting but it will need to be finished. The floors were going to be last. The home also has a newer furnace and hot water. It's ready for the new owners to take over and finish the work. It is difficult to find a home with this much yard and this much space! There is a lot of opportunity here! Make an appointment today! Property line extends past fenced area. Selling as-is.

About Northeast
Newark
Northeast Newark, located between North 21st Street and Cherry Valley Road NE, is a residential and commercial Newark neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and big-box corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North 21st Street and Cherry Valley Road NE junction, where plazas, casual eateries, and daily-errand storefronts cluster along wide arterials. Denison University’s Swasey Chapel and the Denison Museum anchor nearby cultural gravity. Housing trends toward mid-century ranches and split-levels with generous setbacks, while newer subdivisions appear closer to the outer edges. Side streets feel quieter, with pocket parks and school campuses shaping the day-to-day rhythm. The landscape tilts gently toward the Licking River valley, giving drives a rolling, open feel.
