Nestled on fringe of Newark, where there is instant access to shops, restaurants and picturesque main street, and amid rolling countryside is newly renovated home in Old Post Farm. Pitched rooflines, Palladian window and perfectly crafted millwork around front door adorn this stately 2-story, 4BRs/3 bath brick home situated on lush carpet of green grass and facing delightful, small community playground. Freshly mulched and landscaped beds skirt home, tall evergreen anchors corner and curved sidewalk leads to elevated entry. Embrace the space! Appreciate 2-story foyer, turned staircase and today’s take on floor plan that’s open and airy. Rich wide-plank cherry hardwood floors and smoky gray paint are repeated, creating continuity, while crown molding edges ceiling. Left of foyer French doors grant access into front room - perfect for 1st-floor multi-purpose room for office/bedroom/library, room is sequestered in silence offering an ideal flex space venue! Past office is hall closet and bath. Where normally PR would reside, this floor plan expands with value-added 1st floor full bath with pedestal sink. Soft grays are echoed with paint and scope is widened to include gray ceramic tile floor and gray ceramic tile/glass, walk-in, no-lip shower. Step across foyer to front-to-back, beautifully blended LR/DR. It is generous space that touts flex-décor! LR is large enough for formal furnishings with large windows and ample wall space, but could be easy, comfortable room that seamlessly melds into adjacent DR. DR delivers dimension, details and drama! Walk-in bay window juts off side wall, shifting room shape away from typical box configuration, and effectively enlarging and enhancing room. Crown molding continues to add detail and insertion of chair rail delivers drama. Trio of rooms stretched across back of home provides lived-in space! New kitchen answers the call for modern ease! Handsome cherry cabinets are paired with polished SS appliances. Center island offers prep space and can serve as built-in buffet table!

Kitchen boasts substantial dining area thanks to 2-plus foot bump-out and railing that overlooks sunken FR. Charm resonates in family friendly room! Soaring ceiling mixed with floor-to-ceiling windows make room seem larger and light filled, while cozy gas FP lends warmth. Off FR/kitchen is sought-after sun-loving space! Walls of windows encircle sunroom and series of shades offer opportunity for seclusion in a moment’s notice. Apex ceiling, ceiling fan, 2 all-glass doors and exposed beams keep room simple and inviting! Side deck is perfect for grilling and chilling, shed provides all-around outdoor seasonal storage and level backyard is ringed with mature trees offering privacy.
