Beautifully updated 3,025 sf Colonial in the desirable Nonantum Mills community nestled quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac! This move-in-ready home features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, with fresh paint throughout the first and second floors, including updated doors, trim, and window frames. A previous garage conversion into a spacious in-law suite complete with full kitchen, vaulted ceiling with skylights is the perfect place for that extra family member or guest in need of independence & privacy. The remodeled main kitchen offers new cabinetry, quartz countertops, range hood, modern lighting, and new Leviton switches and outlets along with high-end appliances. All of the bathrooms on the main and second floor have been tastefully updated to include new flooring, toilets, hardware and more. A convenient first-floor laundry room includes a mega-capacity LG washer and dryer with two years remaining on the warranty. The roof was replaced in 2016 and Tesla solar panels installed which resulting in reduced electricity costs. The partially finished basement includes an additional half bath, providing flexible space for a recreation room, home office, or gym. A large, 6' × 9' wall mirror makes the basement especially well suited for a home gym, studio, game room and more! Situated on one of the largest and most private lots in the community, the spacious backyard is filled with mature fruit trees, including apple, pear, plum, walnut, and date trees. The gently sloping yard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or even sledding after a snowfall. Enjoy an unbeatable location just a short walk to Old Paper Mill Road Park, pickleball courts, playgrounds, and the scenic Newark Reservoir. The home is within approximately five miles of Newark Charter School yet located outside Newark city limits, so no city property tax applies. Not to mention a very close proximity to UD campus. If you're looking for a home that features a desirable in-law suite with private entrance with many, many additional "must-have's", be sure to check out 108 Ruth Ellen Ct. South. You will not be disappointed!
