What's special
Looking for some privacy and serenity between your home and others? Look no further, we refer to these properties Serendipity for a reason.
Offered here are two pristine, adjoining wooded building lots totaling almost 5.5 acres offering the potential for two or more custom-built homes in a quiet/private setting nestled between the Fairfield and Covered Bridge Farms communities in Newark. Buyers are welcome to bring their agents if they have one. Buyers' Agents with clients interested in the properties are also welcome! 3% commission as only 1 agent and broker will be involved. The 4.18 acre and 1.25 acre gently sloping parcels abound with plants, trees, and wildlife, and are bordered by a small creek that runs along the western side of the properties.
The location is conveniently located to the University of Delaware, I-95, shopping and restaurants. Both lots are zoned residential and are located within the City of Newark, allowing access to public water & sewer, electric, city garbage/recycling, and snow removal. Natural gas is also available to the site via Darien Road. The larger parcel (11 Darien) includes a 21' by 22' wood storage shed with tongue and groove flooring and 2nd floor storage that was previously wired for electricity. Engineering surveys have been performed on both lots and there are no major deed restrictions, HOA fees, or builder-tie in. Please contact owner or listing agent for additional details.
