Rare Opportunity to Own a Spacious 5-Bedroom Home in Sought-After Fairfield, Newark De
Don’t miss your chance to own this charming and generously sized two-story traditional home located in the serene and well-established Fairfield community. Nestled within the City of Newark, this home benefits from full city services—including trash and snow removal, police services, and city utilities, —offering convenience and peace of mind. Enjoy the best of both nature and city living with an abundance of nearby parks and recreational opportunities, including the picturesque White Clay Creek State Park, known for its extensive hiking and biking trails. This home is ideally situated within the Newark Charter School’s 5-mile radius and just a short stroll from the scenic University of Delaware campus. Plus, you’re minutes away from Newark’s award-winning Main Street, full of acclaimed restaurants, cozy pubs, and local shops—consistently ranked among the top small-town destinations in the U.S.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s welcoming curb appeal is evident, thanks to mature landscaping and beautiful trees surrounding both the front and rear yards. Step inside to a classic slate-floored foyer that opens to a bright and spacious layout. The main level features a large living room and dining room with hardwood floors, a centrally located kitchen with brand-new vinyl flooring, and a cozy family room with new carpeting and a wood burning fireplace—perfect for gatherings. A convenient powder room completes the main floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find five generously sized bedrooms with warm hardwood flooring throughout. The primary suite includes its own full bath and walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a 2-car turned garage, a full unfinished basement offering endless possibilities for expansion, and a private backyard surrounded by lush greenery—perfect for future outdoor living spaces like a deck or patio.
Freshly painted throughout with new flooring in key areas, this home is move-in ready and just waiting for your personal touches. Schedule your tour today and discover why homes in Fairfield don’t stay on the market for long!
