Lovingly maintained brick colonial, built by R.C. Peoples in the ever popular Melody Meadows neighborhood in Newark. Situated on a picturesque 0.75 acre lot, you'll feel like you're out in the country, yet have all of the conveniences and amenities that Newark has to offer. Approach your home via the sprawling horseshoe driveway leading to an oversized side-turned 2-car garage or continue a little further to the 30' x 25' detached brick garage/workshop with a pull-though bay for the auto or boat enthusiast. This 3BR/2BA home is move-in ready and boasts many upgrades over the years. There are hardwood floors throughout most of the home, even under the wall-to-wall carpets in the bedrooms. Custom wood blinds, crown molding, chair rails, valances, and stained trim give a classic feel to the home. The renovated eat-in kitchen has been outfitted with cherry cabinets, recessed lighting, wood flooring, corian countertops, an island, and a built-in eating area. The large dining room has a lovely bay window which provides lots of natural light when your entertaining friends and family for the holidays. The office/den looks over the back yard and can easily accommodate 2 desks and bookshelves. A cozy living room retreat has a wood-burning stove to take the chill off those cold winter nights. For your convenience there's a first floor laundry and a powder room with an adjacent stand-up shower to make the 2nd full bath on the main level. And did I mention the enclosed 46' x 12' enclosed porch makes a great family room and is equipped with heat and air conditioning. Upstairs are 3 generous sized bedrooms, a hall bath with direct access to the Master Bedroom and a floored attic with pull down stairs. The huge basement has a cedar closet, a workshop and Bilco door for outside access. Double doors off the family room lead to an expansive back yard where you can sit outside and read a good book under a shade tree, or grill out and host a large gathering under the 30' long covered patio. The large vinyl privacy fence separates you from your neighbors and makes this space a true backyard paradise; complete with a beautiful brick paver walkway and lush floral planting beds. Seller providing 1 Yr HSA Home Warranty. All that, and just minutes from I-95, shopping, Glasgow Park, Lums Pond State Park, and the Mike Castle canal trail.
