Spacious and updated Colonial in the desirable community of Nonantum Mills. This special property boasts over a half acre of ground that backs up to the Newark Reservoir and partially runs along Old Paper Mill Rd. The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, with fresh paint throughout the first and second floors. A previous garage conversion offers a spacious guest or in-law suite complete with a full kitchen, vaulted ceiling with skylights and gas fireplace. Not to mention, there's a private side entrance just steps from the driveway. The remodeled main kitchen offers new cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, range hood, modern lighting, and new Leviton switches & outlets. Let the entertaining begin! All of the bathrooms on the main and second floor have been tastefully updated. The convenient first-floor laundry (potential for a full bathroom addition) comes with large-capacity LG washer & dryer. The roof was replaced in 2016 and Tesla solar panels installed resulting in reduced electricity costs. For the dancer, performer or artist in the family he finished basement offers the perfect "studio setting" with its large 6' × 9' wall mirror, wall mounted ballet barre, separate workshop space and a half bath with utility sink. Situated on one of the largest and most private lots in the community, the spacious backyard is filled with mature fruit trees, including apple, pear, plum, walnut, and date. The gently sloping yard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or even sledding after a snowfall. You'll never run out of things to do or places to relax in this spacious home with great curb appeal. Enjoy an unbeatable location just a short walk to Old Paper Mill Road Park, pickleball courts, playgrounds, and the scenic Newark Reservoir. The home is within approximately five miles of Newark Charter School yet located outside Newark city limits, so no city property tax applies. Not to mention a very close proximity to UD campus.
