About This Home
Welcome to 28 E Main St, a fully renovated duplex offering an incredible house hacking opportunity or multigenerational living setup. Both units are completely vacant and move-in ready, giving you total flexibility from day one. Each spacious unit features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with brand-new appliances, gorgeous new granite countertops, and a brand-new roof overhead. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated, so you can move in worry-free or start collecting rent immediately. Comfort and convenience are built in, with separately zoned central air and heat for each unit — meaning independent climate control and separate utility costs for owners and tenants alike. A laundry hookup in the basement adds everyday practicality. Whether you're an investor looking for a strong rental property, a first-time buyer wanting to offset your mortgage by renting the second unit, or a family seeking a multigenerational living solution with built-in privacy, this property checks every box. Located in downtown Newark, you're just minutes from the University of Delaware, Main Street shopping and dining, and easy access to major commuter routes — making both units highly desirable to renters and residents alike. Two fully renovated units. Endless possibilities. Don't miss this rare opportunity — schedule your showing today!
