Beautifully updated Colonial in desirable Nonantum Mills community is ready for immediate occupancy! 108 Ruth Ellen Ct. S. is nestled quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac and backs up to the Newark Reservoir - complete privacy! This move-in-ready home features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, with fresh paint throughout the first and second floors, including updated doors, trim, and window frames. A previous garage conversion offers a spacious in-law suite complete with a full kitchen, vaulted ceiling with skylights and gas fireplace. Not to mention, there's a private side entrance just steps from the driveway. The remodeled main kitchen offers new cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, range hood, modern lighting, and new Leviton switches & outlets. All you need is the chef! All of the bathrooms on the main and second floor have been tastefully updated to include new flooring, toilets, hardware and even brand new mirrors. A convenient first-floor laundry room includes a mega-capacity LG washer & dryer with two years remaining on the warranty. The roof was replaced in 2016 and Tesla solar panels installed which resulting in reduced electricity costs. For the artist, performer or crafter in the family, the partially finished basement is the perfect place featuring a large 6' × 9' wall mirror, plenty of light, separate workshop space and half bath with utility sink. Situated on one of the largest and most private lots in the community, the spacious backyard is filled with mature fruit trees, including apple, pear, plum, walnut, and date. The gently sloping yard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or even sledding after a snowfall. You'll never run out of things to do or places to relax in this spacious home with great curb appeal. Make your appointment to see it today! Enjoy an unbeatable location just a short walk to Old Paper Mill Road Park, pickleball courts, playgrounds, and the scenic Newark Reservoir. The home is within approximately five miles of Newark Charter School yet located outside Newark city limits, so no city property tax applies. Not to mention a very close proximity to UD campus. If you're looking for a home that features a desirable in-law suite with private entrance with many, many additional "must-have's", be sure to check out 108 Ruth Ellen Ct. South. You will not be disappointed!
