Property Description

(Sunday open house canceled) Seller making a decision Saturday evening Welcome to 700 Harvard Lane, a home where timeless character meets thoughtful modern updates, located in the highly sought-after community of Nottingham Green. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is not your average cookie-cutter home. Positioned on a spacious corner lot and located steps away from the community pool, this home offers the charm of an established neighborhood combined with the space, warmth, and functionality buyers are searching for. Enter into the oversized foyer, where expansive glass entry panels and a large window at the end of the space fill the home with natural light and highlight its unique architectural character from the moment you walk in. The inviting layout immediately sets the tone for the warmth and functionality found throughout the home. The main level offers a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Down the hall, you will find an updated laundry room with entry to the attached 2-car garage offering additional storage space and backyard access. The finished lower level offers an additional living and entertaining space that feels bright and inviting rather than like a traditional basement. Upstairs is a large living room that flows openly into the dining area and around to the kitchen, while still providing the perfect amount of separation. Thoughtful updates, warm finishes, and a fabulous dedicated coffee bar nook make the kitchen feel both functional and full of character. The upper level offers another full bathroom and three additional spacious bedrooms with generous closet space, including one bedroom featuring a hidden bonus room perfect for a private office, creative space, dressing room, reading retreat, or work-from-home setup. Outside, the yard offers just the right amount of space to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed by maintenance. Some of the updates include a brand-new roof (2025), HVAC (2023), refinished basement (2024), new flooring and trim throughout (2024), fresh paint throughout (2024), updated countertops and kitchen backsplash, renovated main-level full bathroom, updated recessed lighting, and more. The current owners thoughtfully updated the home with the intention of staying long-term, and it shows in both the quality of the improvements and the care poured into each space. Located within the 5-mile radius of Newark Charter School and convenient to Nottingham Pool and Swim Club, nearby parks, Main Street Newark, Newark Country Club, the University of Delaware, shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities. This is the kind of neighborhood people plant roots in and rarely want to leave. This is a home buyers will not want to miss.
