Welcome to Oaklands!  This quiet neighborhood in Newark has wide tree-lined streets, charming, expansive homes and undeniable curb appeal.  Pride of ownership is evident throughout this renovated and well-updated brick split-level that offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and which has many possibilities for flexible living.

From the spacious and welcoming foyer, you can head right into the living room where the focal point is an oversized wood-burning fireplace.  Natural light flows into this room from the large front windows.  Off the living room, there is additional space which could be used as a dining room, a sitting room or even a little home office; featuring built-in bookshelves and original pocket doors.  Through here, you can get to the open-concept kitchen, dining room and family room.  In 2024, the kitchen was completely renovated with white cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile, stainless steel appliances, and an induction cooktop; the galley-style layout is very functional!  There is also a coffee station with floating wood shelves and a large pantry cabinet.  Off the kitchen is the deck that was totally rebuilt in 2024, making it ready for the upcoming season! 

From the center of this split-level home, upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms.  Head downstairs and you’ll find an entire suite that offers privacy with direct access to the big backyard.  A large carpeted bedroom with built-in dressers and multiple closets, another room (sitting room, office, or workout space perhaps) and a huge spa-like bathroom make this space flexible for whatever needs you may have.  Use as a primary bedroom retreat space, set up as a private in-law wing, or create the ultimate home office; you can spread out however you need on this level.

Laundry is in the unfinished basement with mechanicals and plenty of room for storage.  The backyard is fenced with mature trees at the back of the property.  There is a 2-car garage which is easily accessed from the screened breezeway that connects to the house.  The breezeway offers a lovely, covered outdoor space that can be enjoyed in multiple seasons.
