About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to 3 Dunning Ct, a rarely available contemporary-style home tucked away in the inviting Cambridge Gardens community of New Castle. With 1,875 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a detached two-car garage, this property offers the perfect balance of modern style, comfort, and convenience. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the open floor plan of the main living spaces. The home’s layout allows for easy flow between living areas, while large windows and glass doors fill the space with natural light. The dining room is a true centerpiece, featuring two-story vaulted ceilings and an exposed staircase that highlights the contemporary character of the home. The kitchen offers warm wood cabinetry, plenty of counter space, and durable tile flooring. From here, you have direct access to the glass-enclosed sunroom, a modern, light-filled retreat perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The living room includes a ceiling fan and sliding door leading to the rear deck, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. A family room, conveniently located off the dining area, also provides sliding doors into the sunroom for even more entertaining flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private escape with an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, exposed beam ceilings, and tall sliders overlooking the yard. A wooden ladder provides access to a versatile loft area on the upper level, great for storage or a cozy spot for reading. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and feature ample closet space, while the updated hall bath shines with a granite-topped vanity and stylish nickel hardware. The basement includes a dedicated laundry area and plenty of room for storage, helping keep the living spaces organized. The HVAC system was replaced in late 2023. Outdoors, the 0.15-acre lot provides a manageable yet inviting grassy yard ideal for children, pets, or simply relaxing on a sunny afternoon. Parking is never an issue with a detached two-car garage and space for two more vehicles in the driveway. Perfectly located near restaurants, shopping, and just minutes from major highways and routes, this home offers the convenience you’ve been searching for. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this unique and beautifully maintained home in Cambridge Gardens your next chapter.
