Nestled on a picturesque one-acre lot that perfectly blends open space with natural wooded privacy, this classic 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial offers a perfect mix of elegance, comfort, and tranquility. The expansive front lawn leads to a backdrop of mature trees, while the partially wooded rear yard, complete with a gently flowing stream, creates a serene retreat. A spacious two-car garage provides convenience and ample storage, making daily life even more effortless. Step inside to a welcoming foyer, where rich hardwood floors and a neutral color palette set the stage for timeless charm. To the right, the formal dining room features chair railing and crown molding, perfect for hosting special gatherings. To the left, the sun-drenched living room showcases a wall of custom built-ins, ideal for displaying treasured décor or a curated library. The heart of the home is the spacious eat-in kitchen, where white birch cabinetry is complemented by a decorative backsplash, upgraded Corian countertops, and seamlessly integrated appliances for a sleek, high-end look. A cozy breakfast nook, complete with custom corner cabinets and a bay window with a built-in window seat, offers the perfect spot for casual meals. From here, step out onto the screened porch to enjoy sweeping views of the changing seasons, or continue onto the tiered deck overlooking the lush, tree-lined lot and the gentle stream below. Back inside, the inviting family room embraces a warm, natural color palette and features a gas fireplace with a brick surround and a rustic mantel, making it the perfect space to unwind. A main-level laundry room with outdoor access and a convenient powder room complete this level. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a private oasis with a walk-in closet featuring an organization system and an en suite bath. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath ensure ample space for family and guests. The lower level extends the home’s livability with a fully finished recreation room—an ideal spot to cheer on your favorite team while enjoying the convenience of a built-in bar. For DIY enthusiasts, a dedicated workshop provides storage and workspace for projects and hobbies. Additional highlights include an electric hookup and reinforced support beam beneath the deck, an upgraded water treatment system, and the benefit of being just outside the city limits—meaning no City of Newark taxes. Perfectly situated within walking distance of White Clay Creek State Park and just minutes from Newark Charter School, the University of Delaware, and downtown Newark’s charming shops, boutiques, and diverse dining scene, this home offers both tranquility and convenience. With easy access to major commuter routes, including I-95, I-295, DE-Rt. 1, and DE-Rt. 896, this exceptional property is ready to welcome you home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
