About This Home

As of July 2016

TWO CAR GARAGE!! This beautiful Jefferson model was customized by the builder for the original owner and is one of the larger units in the community! The same size as the 3 bedroom units but walls were moved and eliminated to create a bright, open & airy floor plan. All rooms are on one floor. The living room/dining room area is huge by comparison to other units as is the kitchen which features a large breakfast room and 2 sets of sliding glass doors to a spacious balcony overlooking the courtyard. Sunny south facing location with lots of windows and sliders to let the sun shine in! To top it off is a rarely available huge 2 CAR GARAGE! (22 X 24) This terrific home is on the second floor with no loft or stairs to climb. It is also one of the few units with another unit below instead of garages which helps with utility bills. With no units on either side of this unit it is arguably one of the best units and locations in this beautiful 55+ Community! Southridge is conveniently located just minutes to downtown Newark, restaurants, shopping and the U of D. Easy access to I-95 and public transportation. Don't miss this one! NOTE: DUCIOA Resale Cert. will be ordered when an acceptable offer is received. Section 32 should state buyer will have 7 days after receipt of resale cert.to inform seller if buyer is moving forward with the purchase. All contract dates should take into account the review period above.
