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.

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!
