Looking for one-floor living, a big private yard, and everything you need right around the corner? Welcome to 86 Kenmar Drive in Brookside, an established Newark neighborhood just off Marrows Road.
The Home
This single-level 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch sits on one of the deepest lots in the neighborhood, with no stairs anywhere inside. It's been freshly updated with a roof only about two years old and new plank flooring in the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom. The primary bedroom features a full wall-to-wall closet with mirrored doors. A ductless mini-split keeps the living room cool all summer and adds efficient supplemental heat, with oil baseboard heat throughout.
The Yard
The backyard is the showstopper: fully fenced and deep enough for a vegetable garden, a patio dining set, summer cookouts, and plenty of room for your pets to run. Private driveway parking out front.
Utilities Included
Water, sewer, and trash are covered, which means lower monthly bills and fewer accounts to set up.
Eat, Shop & Live Nearby
Brookside has its own little Main Street along Marrows Road. Grab a breakfast sandwich or a sub at Brookside Country Maid, a longtime neighborhood favorite deli. Go for authentic street tacos at Taqueria Atexcac, Mexican favorites at El Mercadito, Middle Eastern at Arabic House, a slice from Pat's Pizzeria, or a pint at Violet Pub. For a treat, there's burgers and shakes at Nifty Fifty's and soft serve at the Dairy Queen on Chestnut Hill Road. Planet Fitness, Dollar General, a laundromat, barbershop, and nail salon are all right on Marrows Road too.
Weekly groceries are easy with ShopRite at Chestnut Hill Plaza just minutes away, plus a CVS, Wawa, and several international and specialty markets nearby. Tony's Bistro and Istanbul Grill round out the local dining options.
For bigger shopping trips, you're minutes from Christiana Mall, Delaware's largest, with Target, Macy's, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Cabela's, a Cinemark theater, and restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and BRIO. Next door, Christiana Fashion Center adds Nordstrom Rack, REI, Best Buy, and more. And remember, it's Delaware: no sales tax.
Commute & Outdoors
About a mile to ChristianaCare's Christiana Hospital, a short drive to the University of Delaware and W.L. Gore, with quick access to I-95 and Routes 4, 273, and 896. Wilmington and Philadelphia are an easy drive. DART bus service is nearby. White Clay Creek State Park and Iron Hill Park are close for hiking, biking, and weekend escapes. Christina School District.
