Flexible spaces accommodate everything from cozy movie nights to summer fun in the backyard pool. Thoughtfully maintained and updated since 2012, the home features a spacious rear addition with a full bath and main-level laundry-ideal to use as a large bedroom or sun-filled family room. The above-ground pool is seamlessly accessed from the kitchen via sliding doors to the composite deck with safety rail at pool height and steps down to the lawn. Exterior upgrades include vinyl siding, facia and soffits; an expanded covered front porch; architectural shingle roof (2022); widened driveway, irrigation system, vinyl privacy fencing, replacement windows, a newer pool pump and pool cover.

Conveniently located in Newark (19702), near major commuter routes, shopping, and within the 5-mile Newark Charter School radius.
