Extensively renovated 4 bedroom and 2 full bath Ranch in popular Brookside is now ready for its new owners. This is practically new construction, nearly everything has been replaced and upgraded. Enjoy one-floor living with an open concept and light-filled rooms. Enter into the main living room and be wowed at the size and open feeling. There is LVP flooring throughout the main living areas and new carpets in the bedrooms. The original floor-to-ceiling 4-sided fireplace was kept in place and although currently not functioning, its believed that it could be a working wood burning unit, the chimney is still intact. 3 nice sized bedrooms flank the left side of the home with a brand new full bath at the end of the hall as well as a closet. The Primary bedroom is on the right side of the home, has a large closet, recessed lights, ceiling fan and a brand new full bathroom with vaulted ceiling. The main living area has a brand new kitchen with SS appliances and granite tops and a laundry area. Both entry doors have been replaced, the roof is brand new, the entire electrical and plumbing systems have been updated and a brand new HVAC system with new duct work has also been added. The house has 100% brand new trim, interior doors and fresh paint, too. On the rear of the home is an attached, locked storage shed as well as an additional shed (being sold as-is). The rear yard is fenced and the driveway can hold 2 cars. Nothing to do but move in. Seller is a Licensed Realtor in DE
