About This Home

Welcome to 402 Apple Rd. in Downtown Newark, walking distance to the University of Delaware and main street. This charming home features 4 bedrooms on the upper level and a lovely first floor addition that can be either a main level primary bedroom, with a full bathroom or wonderful sunroom addition with a gas fireplace stove. The addition is highlighted by site finished wide plank, cherry and elm floors, that were hand milled by the owner himself, who is a master woodworker. The remainder of the home showcases sight finished oak floors throughout. Entering the home you are greeted by a slate foyer and great room with a brick wood burning fireplace. The dining room opens out into a screened porch, and is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen features hand milled cabinets, Corion countertops and bay window. The powder room and laundry room behind the garage, complete the main level. Upstairs are 4 nicely sized bedrooms and full bathroom. The lower level has a partially finished basement with woodstove, custom hand milled paneling and built in cabinets, all made by the homeowner and unfinished area plus a Bilco door leading to the backyard. The lovely backyard is highlighted by mature landscaping and charming red wood shed. This one definitely won't last long!!
