About This Home

As of February 2025

Visit this home virtually: http://www.vht.com/434096466/IDXS - Beautiful, modern, customized ranch in Academy Hill! Over 3,175 square feet of living space, and many upgrades! This well maintained home showcases 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths just on the main floor! As you enter the home through the foyer, the house opens into the living room and formal dining room, boasting 9 ft. cathedral ceilings and new subflooring and flooring, which flows throughout the hallways, dining room, kitchen and mudroom. The original owners added a 2-ft bump out, expanding the size of the kitchen and complimentary mud room. Newer stainless steel appliances and granite countertops grace the open-concept kitchen. Next to the kitchen is the mud room, which includes a high end washer and dryer, along with plenty of storage space. The living room leads to a 16 x 12 screened in porch with views of a fenced in, meticulously landscaped backyard. The enormous master bedroom comes with lots of closet space and a master bath, accompanied by double vanities and stall shower/tub. 3 nice sized additional bedrooms are also on the main floor, along with a full bath. The finished basement includes a media room (45 x 17), office (10 x 11), work-out room (8 x 9) and potential fifth bedroom (10 x 12), complete with a walk-in closet (6 x 7). A full bath is also located in the finished basement as well! In addition, you will find a (15 x 11) storage room and coded egress! The expanded 2-car garage has plenty of storage space with built in shelving throughout. Detailed landscaping wraps around all 4-sides of the home. Fresh paint on the main floor (August/2020), HVAC (2019), subflooring and flooring on the main level (2019), asphalt driveway (2018), and stainless steel appliances (2016) are recent upgrades. This energy efficient home is powered by natural gas! Great schools, shopping, the University of Delaware, downtown Newark, Rt. 896, and I-95 are all minutes away. All in all, a combined 3,175 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths makes this attractive ranch in Academy Hill a site to be seen! It won’t last long! Schedule a showing today!
