    What's special

    Welcome to 17 Hillcroft Road in the sought-after Windy Hills community of Newark! This beautifully maintained split-level home has been thoughtfully updated inside and out by its current owner. Major improvements include a brand-new roof (2023), high-efficiency HVAC system (2024), a new concrete driveway, updated bathrooms, and more—giving you peace of mind for years to come. Step inside to the main level, where the heart of the home shines. The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, Corian countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash. The spacious living room flows seamlessly through French doors with enclosed blinds to the fully fenced backyard—perfect for entertaining—complete with a composite deck and a large storage shed. The lower level offers versatility, currently used as a formal dining room but easily adaptable as a second living space or home office. This level also includes a beautifully renovated half bath, a laundry room, and convenient garage access. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms share a stunning updated full bath. Hardwood floors extend through much of the home, adding warmth and character. Enjoy the unbeatable location—walk to neighborhood parks, bike to downtown Newark and the University of Delaware, and take advantage of eligibility within the coveted 5-mile radius of Newark Charter School (K–12). With its upgrades, charm, and prime setting, 17 Hillcroft Road is move-in ready and waiting to welcome you home!
