Welcome to 114 Cardiff Court West in Newark, nestled within the highly desirable Meadowdale neighborhood. Situated on 0.47 acres at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath residence with a two-car garage and finished walkout basement has been meticulously cared for by its owners for the past 29 years. Step into the inviting foyer, where the thoughtful flow of the home is immediately apparent. An abundance of windows fills the space with natural light, seamlessly connecting the formal living and dining rooms to the beautifully appointed designer kitchen. The kitchen features generous-height cabinetry with glass panels, Corian countertops, a cooktop, backsplash, wall oven and microwave, European-style hood exhaust fan, sleek appliances, under-cabinet lighting, a spice drawer, and an organized utensil drawer-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the spacious 18'x 14' gathering room, complete with a wall-mounted TV and a charming wood-burning stove (chimney/flue recently cleaned), creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nearby, unwind in the newly built indoor Jacuzzi Suite (2023) - a serene, spa-like retreat with surrounding windows that overlook lush plantings. This mediative space offers year-round recreation and relaxation, and an outdoor fire pit, enhancing the sense of tranquility. Conveniently located off the gathering room is the laundry room, tucked behind stylish barn doors and equipped with a utility sink, as well as a half bath featuring a modern waterfall faucet.

The attractive backyard is truly a kitchen gardener’s paradise, enhanced by fruit trees, a koi pond, Trex decking, patio, and illuminated patio wall, hardscaped walkways, and a fenced yard with a fire pit. Additional highlights include transferable ownership of solar panels (7.56 KW) that not only reduce monthly utility bills but also generate tax-free Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), no contract, sealed stucco exterior, some newer vinyl windows, newer front and sliding doors, a workshop with shelving, eight ceiling fans, and a blacktop driveway (2021).
