241 GOLDFINCH TURN Newark, DE 19711

241 Goldfinch Turn is located in the highly desirable community of Middle Run Crossing. The well-established community has wide streets and sidewalks and is across the street from the newly renovated White Clay State Park entrance and adjacent to the (huge) Papermill Park. This gorgeous home has been loved and cared for by its original owners and has a pool and finished basement.

As you pull up, you're greeted by the extensive landscaping and hardscaping surrounding the home. The premium location corner lot boasts 1/3 of an acre, and a side-entry two-car garage.

Open the glass storm door, and please, come inside this nearly 4,000 square foot home.

Once inside you’re standing in the grand two-story foyer with beautiful hardwood floors and marble columns and you’re between an elegant formal dining room to your right (beamed ceiling, wainscoting, crown molding, custom shades and blinds) and a welcoming living room on the left (possible uses: formal space to sit and chat with guests, entertainment room for video-gaming, exercise room with perhaps a Peloton, music room with a piano, a room full of toys, etc.) – both with hardwood flooring.

Continue straight ahead and you will once again find yourself on hardwood flooring looking up at the eighteen-foot walls of the family room with floor-to-ceiling windows, custom drapes, and fireplace. Just around the corner is the room which shows as an office (although it could be used as a main floor extra bedroom if desired) with wainscoting, crown molding, and a coffered ceiling. Close the door for peace and quiet while working, studying, or ‘Zooming’.

Continue into the tile-floored kitchen and you will notice the stainless-steel appliances, four-burner gas stove, newer dishwasher, cherry pot-hanging rack over the kitchen island, a large walk-in pantry, plenty of oversized cherry cabinets, room for a breakfast table, room to eat at the island, oven, disposal, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, and a wine-alcove with cherry cabinets. The tile flooring continues from the kitchen into the adjacent laundry room which leads out to the two-car garage.

Back through the kitchen and out through the sliding doors, you'll enter the sunroom; you'll quickly notice the dual skylights and the calming effect the room has. With its windows everywhere and glass storm doors, this sunshine room is the perfect room to sit in and connect with the surrounding nature.

The same custom pavers leading the way from the driveway to the house's front continue in the back of the home. As you descend stairs from the deck, go right to follow the path back out to the driveway, OR turn left and head towards the pool. Only a handful of homes in Middle Run Crossing have pools, and this is one of the biggest. The pool is circled by decking made of concrete with an upgraded non-slip textured overlay. Words simply don't do the pool justice.

Jump in, jump out, dry off, and come back inside.

Head upstairs to the four generously sized bedrooms. The hallway bathroom has marble flooring and a tub shower. The Primary bedroom has a double-door entrance, tray ceiling, and a spacious walk-in closet. The primary luxury bathroom has a soaking tub, tile flooring, dual vanities, a water closet, upgraded cabinets, and a linen closet.

Finally, head downstairs to the tiled, finished, lower level designed to entertain. You're greeted by a full bar, a full bathroom with tile flooring and a standing shower, a finished walk-in closet, windows, a large workshop with a workbench, wall shelves, and a utility sink and under-stairs extra storage. The lower level has plenty of space for a variety of entertainment activities.

This home is a gem! HVAC, A/C, and roof all new in 2018. Showings begin Friday, 5/14 and continue through the weekend.
