Welcome to 301 Meriden Dr, the home you've been waiting for. Located in the highly sought-after community of Fairfield, this home offers a prime location just minutes from University of Delaware campus and Newark's favorite dining and shopping spots, while just far enough away to preserve the tranquility and peacefulness of an established, quiet community. The large corner lot offers mature trees and lush landscaping that accents the classic brick exterior. Single story living feels like a luxury in this four bedroom home where from the moment you enter through the front door, the hardwood floors and large entry hall closet will make you feel right at home. The family room glows with natural light during the day, and in the evenings, by the light of the stunning fireplace.
