An Amazing Opportunity is knocking in sought-after Salem Woods! This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial offers the ideal combination of size, location, and value, making it a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to build equity with a little elbow grease, your visions and some cosmetic updates. Situated within the highly desirable Newark Charter School 5-mile radius and just moments from Weiss Park where you can enjoy easy access to wide walking paths, pickleball & tennis courts, soccer & baseball fields & playgrounds! A welcoming front porch provides the perfect place to relax and unwind, while inside you'll find a traditional floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The spacious foyer opens to a large living room, formal dining room, and inviting family room. The generously sized kitchen features abundant cabinet and counter space, a casual dining area, and a sliding door leading to the expansive backyard with your very own fruit trees! Outside, the large rear yard offers endless possibilities for gardening, recreation, or future outdoor living, complete with a storage shed and freshly trimmed, well-maintained landscaping in both the front and rear yards. Additional highlights include a grand-sized laundry room with a convenient side entrance, an attached one-car garage, and a two-car driveway. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously sized with ample closet space. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, creating a comfortable retreat. The entire interior has been freshly painted, providing a clean, neutral canvas for your personal touches and colors of your choosing. While new flooring will further enhance the home, it has been thoughtfully priced to reflect the need for updates, offering exceptional value and outstanding upside potential. Similar homes in the neighborhood have recently sold for substantially more, making this an excellent opportunity to invest in your future while creating a home that reflects your own style. If you've been searching for a home with solid construction, spacious rooms, an outstanding location, and tremendous potential, this Salem Woods gem deserves a place at the top of your list.
