About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 39 Villanova Ct – A Private Retreat in the Sought-After Academy Hill Community of Newark, Delaware within the 5 mile radius of Newark Charter School. Tucked away on a private lot , this elegant home offers timeless style, thoughtful updates, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining.
As you step into the foyer, you're greeted by a sweeping curved staircase and beautiful custom woodworking, setting the tone for the quality throughout. To your left, French glass doors open into a sun-drenched home office, featuring vaulted ceilings and a striking Palladian window. Just across the hall, the formal dining room provides an inviting space for hosting both special occasions and casual dinners. The updated kitchen is a true centerpiece, boasting newer white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a generous center island, and a pantry for extra storage. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the spacious deck—perfect for relaxing or entertaining—overlooking a lush, private backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen, the cozy family room features a gas fireplace as its focal point, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Also on the main level, you’ll find a convenient laundry room and a stylish half bath. One of the home’s standout features is the rare first-floor primary suite. This private retreat includes a sitting area, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious en suite bath with a soaking tub, separate stall shower, and double vanities.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. (Note: The sellers combined two smaller bedrooms to create one large space—easily converted back to a fifth bedroom if desired.)
The full, unfinished basement provides ample storage and houses the home's mechanical systems and there is even a walk in attic. Recent updates include fresh interior paint, and professionally cleaned carpets—making this home truly move-in ready.
Don’t miss your opportunity to own this beautifully maintained home in one of Newark’s most desirable neighborhoods. Schedule your tour today!
