Property Description

OFFER DEADLINE SET - 8:00 P.M. MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 2023. A pristine-condition house and a superb location really do matter. So, here is a great opportunity to live in a generously sized, four-bedroom, Colonial-inspired home perfectly nestled on a larger-than-most grassy cul-de-sac lot in the well-established Newark community of Frenchtown Woods. Neighboring highlights include the Maryland-Delaware state border with Lums Pond State Park and the University of Delaware on one side and the Elk Neck State Forest and the always-popular Chesapeake Inn and Marina on the other. This well-cared-for home is fortunate to have a large, deciduous-wood backdrop and plenty of curb appeal. This is one of those rare homes that will provide you the opportunity to whisper aloud “Wow!” as you begin your approach to #103. Then comes the thought, “Who knew this was back here!” Let’s begin by entering through the new front door with frosted-glass inserts into the entry foyer featuring wood flooring and natural ceiling trim, then into the living room to the left adorned with plush wall-to-wall carpeting, chair rail, crown molding, a bank of double-hung windows, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround and hearth and a prominent wood mantel. A double-wide opening from this remarkable space provides entry to the spacious, rear-facing adjoining dining room featuring hardwood flooring, a five-lite chandelier, and an entrance to the heart of the house – the kitchen, with five points of entry. The large eat-in kitchen features ceramic-tile flooring, an undermount stainless-steel sink, plenty of granite-topped base cabinets, a wrap-around ceramic-tile backsplash, a granite-topped center island with pendant lighting above, and coordinated appliances including a built-in microwave oven above a built-in gas range, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer with external water. In addition, a fifteen-lite slider in the dining area opens to the huge exterior patio and to the spectacular fenced oasis beyond. There is much to be excited about, including a champagne-glass shaped in-ground gunite pool with a depth range of 3 to 7 feet, a built-in bench, wedding-cake steps, brick coping, a concrete surround, and flanked by a grassy lawn and picnic area. All pool supplies and accessories, including the tiki bar, are included! Back inside, we go into the ceramic-tiled laundry room with side exterior access, the attached one-car garage, the powder room, and finally the family room with crown molding and multiple points of entry. Heading upstairs we explore the newly carpeted primary bedroom with en-suite bath featuring a walk-in closet, and a cathedral ceiling with a sizable half-moon fixed window at the highest peak. The recently updated primary bath provides a double vanity with terrific-looking wall mirrors above, a new toilet, handsome flooring, and a luxurious walk-in shower with stylish ceramic tile. Three secondary bedrooms (two with new carpeting) and the updated shared hall bath complete the upper level. Easy access to shopping, entertainment, and major roadways (Route 40/Pulaski Highway, Route 896, Old Baltimore Pike, I95) are additional reasons for you to make this wonderful property your new home.
