About This Home

53 Whitson Dr

Wait no more! This move-in-ready 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath colonial in the sought-after Salem Woods community is designed for comfortable living and year-round entertaining. Flexible spaces accommodate everything from cozy movie nights to summer fun in the backyard pool. Thoughtfully maintained and updated since 2012, the home features a spacious rear addition with a full bath and main-level laundry—ideal to use as a large bedroom or sun-filled family room. The above-ground pool is seamlessly accessed from the kitchen via sliding doors to the composite deck with safety rail at pool height and steps down to the lawn. Exterior upgrades include vinyl siding, facia and soffits; an expanded covered front porch; architectural shingle roof (2022); widened driveway, irrigation system, vinyl privacy fencing, replacement windows, a newer pool pump and pool cover. Inside, enjoy a traditional floor plan, with a bonus option for main level living. Three bedrooms upstairs, including the primary bedroom with its own bathroom are generous in size. Recent interior improvements include freshly painted walls, doors, trim, and kitchen cabinets; new cabinet hardware; LVP flooring throughout the main level; LED ceiling and under-cabinet lighting; newer stainless steel kitchen appliances; HVAC (2021); water heater (2023); replaced plumbing lines; and a stacking washer/dryer (2023). The finished basement adds approximately 430 sq. ft. of versatile living space, plus ample storage. Enjoy a prime location within walking distance of enhanced Weiss Park and adjacent HOA-maintained open space—no homes behind you, but what a view! Conveniently located in Newark (19702), near major commuter routes, shopping, and within the 5-mile Newark Charter School radius. While quite nicely enhanced and maintained, the property, including shed, pool and equipment, select furniture, and all appliances, is being sold “as-is.” Do not delay; schedule your showing today!!
