About This Home

As of July 2026

Welcome to 17 Rocky Road, located in the highly sought-after community of Norwegian Woods in Newark, Delaware. This exceptional brick-front home combines timeless elegance, thoughtful upgrades, and beautiful outdoor living spaces, creating an opportunity you won't want to miss. From the moment you arrive, you'll be impressed by the meticulously maintained landscaping that enhances both the front and rear of the property. A front-entry two-car garage, spacious two-tier deck with privacy vinyl walls, mature crepe myrtle trees, and a storage shed complete the backyard oasis, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Step inside and be greeted by a grand two-story foyer featuring a stunning staircase with wood railing and wrought-iron balusters. Beautiful custom porcelain tile extends from the foyer through the kitchen and into the family room, while custom Brazilian chestnut hardwood flooring accents the formal living and dining rooms. The formal living and dining areas flow seamlessly together, creating an inviting space for gatherings and special occasions. A private home office with French doors is conveniently located at the front of the home. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, featuring hand-painted white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom tile backsplash, and an additional dining area with direct access to the deck. The open-concept design allows the kitchen to overlook the spacious family room and breakfast area, making everyday living and entertaining effortless. The impressive family room boasts soaring cathedral ceilings, dual ceiling fans, a cozy center fireplace, and heated tile flooring that extends through the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. Remote-controlled heated floors and ceiling fans add an extra level of comfort and convenience. Tucked just off the kitchen are a convenient powder room, access to the two-car garage, and stairs leading to the finished basement. Downstairs, you'll find multiple finished living areas with tile flooring, offering endless possibilities for recreation, media, fitness, or additional entertaining space. French doors lead to a large utility and storage room housing the gas furnace, gas water heater, electrical panel, and sump pump. Retreat upstairs to the luxurious primary suite, accessed through elegant French doors. This spacious sanctuary features a generous bedroom with a separate sitting area, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom. Relax in the soaking tub positioned beneath a beautiful chandelier and beside a large window, or enjoy the fully tiled glass-enclosed shower. Dual vanities, matching mirrors, and a combination heat, light, and ventilation system complete this stunning space. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. A centrally located second-floor laundry room offers added convenience, while the beautifully tiled hall bathroom showcases the same attention to detail found throughout the home. Offering exceptional indoor and outdoor living spaces, luxurious upgrades, and a prime location within Norwegian Woods, 17 Rocky Road is a home that truly stands apart. Schedule your private tour today—homes of this caliber rarely remain available for long.
