About This Home

Have you wanted a workshop on your property? Have your hobbies/vehicles/ projects overtaken your current property? This is the one you have been waiting for! Located within an easy drive of Newark, University of Delaware, Maryland, I-95 and 896, this split level home boasts an extraordinary DETACHED GARAGE/WORKSHOP with an entry door that is tall enough to fit a boat or a camper and plenty of space for your tools and equipment. But let's not stop there, the house itself is in pristine, gem like condition featuring fresh paint, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout, a gorgeous expanded kitchen with brand new quartz counter tops, new sink, new faucet, space to sit at the counter and a small desk/bill paying station plus not one but two PANTRIES. The combination living and dining room gleam and provide a welcoming entry to the home. As this is a split level home, the floors are spaced half a floor apart from each other. The fourth bedroom is located a half a floor down from the main living area; it can be used and it is currently set up as a family room. Adjacent to that bedroom/family room is the unfinished utility room space which has the washer and dryer and an owned water treatment system because the seller preferred his water softer. There is a crawl space under the main living room accessed from the fourth bedroom or the utility room. A half a floor up from the main living are two generously sized bedrooms and the full bathroom. A half a floor up from that is the primary bedroom which takes up the entire space. The open closet can easily be expanded and the eaves provide plenty of storage. Put this property on your tour today. Once you see it you will want to call it home.
