About This Home

As of August 2026

Welcome to 23 Stage Road, a spacious and well-maintained retreat nestled on nearly a full acre, in the rarely available cozy Stage Road community. This impressive property offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space, perfectly balancing classic charm with the freedom of a sprawling 0.94-acre lot—all with the added benefit of no HOA.
Step inside to find a home brimming with character and high-quality finishes. The interior features a thoughtful mix of hardwood, tile, and slate flooring that flows throughout the main living areas. With four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own corner of comfort.
The kitchen and dining areas are designed for effortless entertaining, while the unfinished basement provides a massive footprint for storage or the opportunity to create a custom space tailored to your needs.
One of the standout benefits of this property is the upcoming installation of a brand-new gravity septic system. This planned upgrade offers incredible peace of mind, ensuring the home’s infrastructure meets modern standards well into the future.
The exterior is just as inviting, featuring a brand new deck and screened porch with ceiling fan, and a two-car attached garage. The true star of the show, however, is the expansive yard. Whether you’re looking to host summer gatherings, start a garden, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own green oasis, this lot offers endless possibilities.
Location is everything, and this home puts you right where you want to be. You are just a quick trip away from the University of Delaware, the scenic trails and outdoor recreation of White Clay Creek State Park, and a variety of local shopping and dining options. This property is a rare find that combines a large, private lot with the convenience of Newark living. Come see the potential for yourself!
