Property description
Welcome to 241 Laurel Avenue, your own slice of quiet and nature located right outside the city of Newark! This well-kept home is the perfect blend of modern comfort and classic vibes. Right from the get-go, the wide driveway and neatly paved walkway lead you to a cozy covered front porch, giving you a small taste of the peacefulness this place offers. Step inside to find a comfortable living space bathed in natural light, thanks to its hardwood floors, leading you to an inviting dining area, just right for family meals or game nights. The kitchen is all set for your home-cooked meals, complete with a new stove, gas cooktop with electric oven, granite countertops, and a handy double-door pantry for all your snacks and spices. Your mornings just got better with a calming view of the backyard from the kitchen table. The main level also offers a casual family room, great for movie nights or watching the big game. Plus, a convenient powder room for guests. One of the home's highlights is the screened-in porch just off the family room—your new spot for enjoying a cool breeze and the calming sounds of the nearby creek, all in privacy away from the bugs. Just under an acre lot, the backyard is your own private retreat, ideal for BBQs, gardening, or just kicking back after a long day. Upstairs, find six spacious bedrooms ready to tuck you in for peaceful nights. The primary suite comes with a newly updated private bathroom, featuring a tiled shower stall. And no more lugging laundry up and down the steps; the washer and dryer are smartly placed on the second level. This home qualifies for a SPECIAL $10,000 GRANT through preferred lenders, not just for first-time buyers and NO income requirements. If a down payment or closing cost assistance isn't needed, many are utilizing this grant to achieve a more favorable interest rate. Reach out to the listing agent to learn more. Location is key! With easy access to Kirkwood HWY, Route 1, and I95, you’re just a short drive away from Christiana Hospital, Downtown Newark, only 5 miles from Newark Charter School and the University of Delaware. And yet, 241 Laurel Avenue remains a tucked-away gem, close to local parks, shopping, and dining, while offering the tranquility of nature. So, if you’re all about a comfy home that keeps you close to nature while not being far from city conveniences, 241 Laurel Avenue is waiting for you. It’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you step in. Don’t miss your chance to snag this peaceful, nature-loving retreat!
