**Public Open House Sat 9-12-26 1-3pm** Welcome to 1018 Blackhawk Drive, a beautifully maintained ranch-style home built in 2018 in the Mars Area School District. If you’ve been searching for newer construction, one-level living, a finished basement AND a backyard with a pool, this one checks a lot of boxes. The main level offers an easy, functional layout with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, while the fully finished lower level adds a huge amount of usable living space. Downstairs you’ll find a custom bar that’s perfect for entertaining, dedicated gym space, additional living space and plenty of storage. Outside is where this home really shines. The backyard was made for summer with an in-ground sporting pool featuring an automatic cover, Trex decking, a fenced-in yard and storage shed. Whether you’re hosting a house full of people or spending a quiet weekend at home, there’s plenty of space to enjoy. The neighborhood is just as special. This is the kind of community where neighbors actually know each other and traditions are a big part of living here. The neighborhood enjoys visits from the ice cream truck, an annual Santa Claus tour, a food truck party, neighborhood garage sale and some seriously impressive trick-or-treating. You’re also just minutes from some of the best local amenities in the area. Middlesex Township Community Park is approximately 2 minutes away, and Harvest Valley Farms, Freedom Farms and Dillner Family Farm are all within roughly 3 miles.
