    What's special

    Investor or handy owner-occupant alert! Ready for your next project? Welcome to 29 Mercer Dr in the Brookside Park community of Newark, a conveniently located ranch offering solid potential for renovation, rental, or resale. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home provides 1,125 square feet of single-floor living with a functional layout and good natural light throughout. Inside, the home features an open flow between the living room and kitchen, creating a practical living space with a brick fireplace as a central focal point. The living room includes engineered flooring, a large front window, ceiling fan, and wood-paneled accent wall. The kitchen offers space for a dining area and is lined with white cabinetry, durable flooring, and multiple windows that bring in natural light. While the finishes are dated, the layout provides a strong starting point for updates. The adjacent dining area is integrated into the kitchen, making it easy to reimagine as a more modern, open-concept space. All three bedrooms are comfortably sized. The primary bedroom includes carpet, a large closet, and ceiling fan, while the additional bedrooms offer adequate closet space. The hall bathroom features a tub and shower combination with tile surround. Laundry is conveniently located in the hallway near the bedrooms. Outside, the property sits on a 0.31-acre lot with a spacious, level backyard that includes a storage shed. Parking is handled by an attached carport and driveway with room for multiple vehicles, along with a rear storage or workshop area. The home will require TLC and updating but offers strong “bones” and a desirable location close to shopping, dining, and major routes. With the right vision, this property presents a great opportunity to add value. Schedule your showing today!
