Welcome to 216 Orchard Rd., walking distance to downtown Newark Main Street and the University of Delaware. Close proximity to Newark Charter, Christiana Hospital, and I-95. Charming 4-bedroom, 3 full bath, Arts and Crafts style cedar-sided home, built in 1927, nestled on 2 lots. Home features approximately 2800 sq ft, mature landscaping with specimen trees carefully maintained over the years, and perennial plantings. Fully fenced-in backyard, great for outdoor entertaining, pets, and family fun. Entering the home into the center hall grand foyer, you are greeted by the impeccably preserved 1920s architectural charm, featuring original yellow pine hardwood floors throughout, classic crown moldings, deep baseboards, and solid-wood interior doors. The dining room and gathering rooms in the front of the home are perfect for accommodating large gatherings. Sellers have had the hardwood kitchen cabinets rebuilt with solid maple dovetail construction and updated under-cabinet lighting. The large gathering room showcases a masonry wood-burning fireplace, and the owners have had the masonry chimney rebuilt to below the roof line. Natural gas is available to the home so that a new owner can place a gas insert if desired. The gathering room opens out onto a screened, covered side porch, and the owners had it rescreened and the doors rebuilt in 2025. Other features of the main level are a laundry room. A full bathroom and a sunroom that overlooks the backyard and sunset views. The upper level features 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The Primary Bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a private den with a loft, and an ensuite bathroom. There are 3 additional bedrooms and another loft that is great for storage. The lower level is great for additional storage and exits out into the garage. The owners have recently upgraded and replaced several items to keep the integrity of the home. In 2025, they replaced the stainless steel liner for the furnace/boiler. 2016: 25 feet of gas repiping completed to accommodate the modern A 2-unit high-end velocity AC system that was placed. HVAC systems and tankless hot water heater installed by Sila and regularly serviced. Within the last 5 years, 23 windows on the North and South sides of the home were replaced. Original cast iron stack pipe replaced. All original windows still in place have had window mechanisms updated and weather stripping added. Original sewer main replaced and gutter lines redirected from the home to under landscaping to the road. A sump pump was added to the basement garage to augment the French drain.
