Welcome to 30 Stardust Drive, Newark, DE, a spacious Split-Level home in the highly desirable Melody Meadows Neighborhood! Located just a few miles from shopping centers, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and the University of Delaware, this well-maintained home offers comfort, convenience, and versatility. This charming split-level home sits on a generous .75-acre lot, providing a serene, tree-lined view from the backyard. With 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, 2 half bathrooms, and a large 42x45 Pole Barn, this property has something for everyone. The Pole Barn offers 1,680 square feet of space, complete with electricity, plumbing, overhead storage, and three garage doors – perfect for storing an RV, boat, or work vehicles. The home features beautiful curb appeal with a combination of brick and vinyl siding, a spacious paved driveway that can accommodate 12+ cars, and a covered Trex deck porch off the back of the home. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living room with hardwood floors, a bay window that fills the space with natural light, and a stunning brick wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth and decorative mantel. The adjoining dining room offers hardwood flooring, chair railing, and crown molding, creating an elegant space. The kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, boasts an abundance of white cabinetry, black hardware, electric cooking, and solid countertops. A charming nook is perfect for a small eat-in area, and a window above the sink offers a great view of the backyard. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with hardwood floors under the carpet. The full bathroom, accessible from the hall or the primary bedroom, features a walk-in shower and tile flooring (under the carpet). The primary bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet and a separate sink area, providing added convenience. A few steps down from the kitchen, the lower level offers a second living space (den) with easy access to the covered porch through the sliding glass doors, a laundry room, and a large half bathroom. There’s also an additional room just off the den that could be used as a bedroom, office, media room, or playroom – this space includes a walk-in shower and is wheelchair accessible, with easy entry and exit via double doors to the backyard/driveway. The unfinished basement offers ample storage space, while the Pole Barn provides even more room for vehicles, tools, or hobbies. This exceptional home is move-in ready and available just in time for summer! Whether you have an RV, boat, work vehicles, or a passion for vintage cars, this property is the perfect fit. Schedule your tour today, this one won’t last long!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
