About This Home

As of September 2024

This charming brick ranch house, meticulously cared for by its original owners for over 70 years. The home sits on an expansive 8/10 acre parcel surrounded by picturesque farmland on two sides which will not be developed. The pride of ownership shines through in every corner of this home, with recent updates including a new roof, new gutters and gutter guards as well as having the chimney repointed in 2017, and a new heater installed in 2021.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a sunlit living room featuring a large window that floods the space with natural light, a cozy wood burning fireplace, real pine paneling, and gleaming hardwood floors that extend into the adjacent dining room. The galley style kitchen offers convenience with a door leading to the side yard.
Three spacious bedrooms, all boasting hardwood floors, provide comfortable living spaces for the whole family. The large basement, with walk-out stairs for easy access, offers ample storage options and potential for future expansion.
Despite its generous lot size and idyllic rural surroundings, this property offers convenient access to Newark, shopping areas, Route 896, and the entrance to I-95. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this well-loved home your own.
