About This Home
As of March 2015Charming Cape Cod built in 1927 in the heart of Newark and The University Of Delaware. This home features 4 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths. The heart of the home has a wood burning fireplace in the great room and is open to the Dinning room, study and library. Beyond the dinning room, French doors open into the Conservatory which opens up into the kitchen and are additions to the original home. Much of the home has finished hardwood flooring. The windows, roof and insulation have been recently updated along with a newer heater and AC and the current owners have added solar hot water that is barely noticed and doesn't take away from the character of this home. There is a great flow for entertaining and the conservatory opens out onto the deck and private backyard and 2 car detached garage that also has a new roof and skylight. Baths have been updated and there is a finished basement with walkout.
