About This Home

As of March 2019

Upon arriving at this desirable Newark location, you will immediately notice the tasteful landscape and the traditional brick & siding facade ... just the beginning of the many quality features found in this Benchmark Builders ranch home. Inside, the gleaming, warm oak floors make a great first impression ... combined with the 9' ceilings and tasteful columns, the inviting Foyer really sets the tone for this home! On your way to the main living space, you'll pass a guest room, a full bath, a laundry room with wash tub and access to the garage. The hardwoods continue seamlessly, front-to-back, as you proceed to the combined, open-concept Kitchen + Great Room. Upgrades to this absolutely stunning space are nearly endless: Top-of-the-Line Stainless BOSCH appliances, 42" Maple cabinets, granite counters, tumbled tile backsplash, decorative island pendants, over a dozen recessed lights and vaulted ceilings in the living / dining areas of the Great Room. The living area includes a natural gas fireplace plus an optional four-foot extension; the dining area boasts an optional Sunroom with access to the rear deck. Multiple pantries and closets create a nice transition area, separating the Owner's Suite. Once inside your retreat, notice the expansive walk-in closet and all of the builder upgrades: vaulted ceilings, optional four-foot extension and optional den / sitting room. Optional premium finishes continue in the Owner's Bath including: tile flooring, tile shower with seat and frameless glass shower enclosure ... what a great place to start or end your day! Make a quick stop to the full, unfinished basement with Egress Window where you will find an immense space for storage or for finishing to your liking. Continuing the tour, we return to the main level and access the outdoor entertaining space via the Sunroom. The 18X12 ultra-low maintenance rear deck was added only four years ago. Enjoy your view of the community open space as you grill and converse with company ... all while never having to swap propane tanks (this home has a natural gas hook-up)! If all this wasn't enough, this 55+ community includes a Clubhouse with a Kitchen, a Cardio Room, a Billiards Room and a busy social calendar. Welcome Home!
