Welcome to this beautifully re-imagined raised ranch where modern elegance meets everyday comfort. Completely remodeled over the past 6 years, this stunning home is filled with thoughtful upgrades and stylish finishes throughout. Step inside to fresh designer paint, recessed lighting, and gorgeous new flooring, while original hardwood floors remain underneath for timeless charm. The show-stopping open-concept kitchen, completely renovated just 2 years ago with over $60,000 in upgrades, features quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a drawer microwave, Reverse osmosis - a water purification connected to the refrigerator, and the perfect layout for entertaining family and friends. The beautifully updated bathrooms, also remodeled 2 years ago, add a fresh and luxurious touch throughout the home. The lower level was designed for fun and relaxation with a sleek granite-top mini bar, built-in wine fridge, and inviting additional living space. Major improvements include a roof less than 2 years old with transferable lifetime warranty, newer water heater, new sliding glass door, plus a French drain and sump pump system for added peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a private backyard and beautifully landscaped setting just minutes from the University of Delaware, public schools, shopping, dining, and convenient transportation to downtown Newark.
