Welcome to 28 E Main St, a fully renovated duplex offering an incredible house hacking opportunity or multigenerational living setup. Both units are completely vacant and move-in ready, giving you total flexibility from day one. Each spacious unit features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with brand-new appliances, gorgeous new granite countertops, and a brand-new roof overhead. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated, so you can move in worry-free or start collecting rent immediately. Comfort and convenience are built in, with separately zoned central air and heat for each unit - meaning independent climate control and separate utility costs for owners and tenants alike. A laundry hookup in the basement adds everyday practicality.

Located in downtown Newark, you're just minutes from the University of Delaware, Main Street shopping and dining, and easy access to major commuter routes - making both units highly desirable to renters and residents alike. Two fully renovated units. Endless possibilities. Don't miss this rare opportunity - schedule your showing today!
