“Newbury” is derived from the Old English words “neowe” (new) and “burh” (fortress or fortified town). In 2018, 10974 Newbury, still a young, well-fortified home, was not feeling so new anymore. The day-to-day grind of housing and raising its first few families had stripped the shine from this 1996 Colonial-style home. She had experienced poor color choices, various wallpapers and borders, Berber carpet, maroon shutters, and, one can only assume, being built in ’96, plenty of gold fixtures, hunter green paint schemes, and people dancing to that year’s #1 single, the Macarena. This is enough to make any house lose its luster. But our current owners had enough vision to see past the superficial walls and floors and envision the makeover that would bring this home back to life and transform it from Oldbury to Newbury! So they got to work, sparing no expense along the way. Now in 2025 what we present to you is a true second lease on life. The house is still a little over 3000 sqft (includes finished basement) with 4 bedrooms (3 upstairs, 1 in the basement) and 4 baths (3/1) on a 1/3 of an acre lot, but now she has all new carpet and vinyl flooring throughout, fresh paint everywhere, all 4 baths have been completely updated including a gorgeous master glam bath, all door hardware, lights and ceiling fans, kitchen and bath fixtures are new. The furnace and hot water tank are new, a water softener and r/o system were added, the roof is only 10 years young, all but three windows have been replaced, and vented glass block has been installed in the basement. A massive stamped concrete patio and gazebo with ceiling fans was installed, as was a new shed, and new wiring was run with plenty of GFCI outlets and a line of privacy trees. 1st floor laundry with hung cabinetry and stainless steel sink, updated pantry, his and her walk-in closets in the master, and great closet space throughout. Ask your agent for a complete list of updates, listed under the supplements tab on the MLS.

You don't get this every day in New Franklin. An updated 4 bedroom (or 3 beds and a 1st-floor office), 3 full baths home, on a one-acre flat lot w/attached two car garage, and a 3-seasons room complete with a hot tub overlooking the back yard. The main living area has three levels, all above grade. The 1st level includes the front foyer, office/bedroom, a modern bath w/shower, and a family room with beamed ceilings and built-in bookshelves that walk out to the 3-seasons room or the garage. Level 2 includes a large 15x15 living room with newer carpet that allows family and friends to congregate comfortably. Just around the corner is an ample kitchen with ceramic floors, great cupboard space, an action center, a breakfast bar for two, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is open to the dining room with wood floors and a slider out to the rear deck. The kitchen is also only two stairs to the family room garage access. Back to the front of the house, a short staircase opens up to a 10x7 landing that, to the right, offers a cubby door to a vast storage space over the living room. Straight on is another tasteful modern bath w/shower, and to the left, 3 more bedrooms, each with wood floors. The 13x13 owner's suite offers 2 closets and a third private newly remodeled bath w/shower and heated bidet. That's not all! The 18 course basement offers 12' foot high ceilings an L'shaped 400 sqft rec room, a big storage closet with three more closets inside, and an enormous utility room with laundry, double sink, a basement shower (a fourth shower!!) that is more than just a concrete floor with a shower head above, and lots of space for storage or a workshop. All of this, plus there is a charming front porch and 3 areas to entertain and a firepit out back. New Franklin offers the most green space in Summit County, large lots, great neighbors, and a sense of community. If you've been waiting for a special home to come along, your wait is over!

We are excited to present to you a home meticulously maintained, where routine maintenance, physical and cosmetic updates, curb appeal, cleanliness, tidiness, a sense of duty, and a love of family have resulted in a stability that you can set your clock to, for the last 45 years. And while the impressive routine, plus nostalgia, and a natural resistance to change make it hard to say goodbye, the current residents are proud to hand over their labor of love to a new family, seeking new beginnings and a strong foundation from which they can build their new lives. This home is fully move-in ready and up-to-date on all maintenance. You'll appreciate the clean, modern, and cozy living room, the ample, updated kitchen with white cabinetry and all-new appliances in the last 5 years. The first floor is complete with a breakfast nook and a formal dining room, where again, everything is tastefully painted and includes modern flooring. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms and an updated bath in 2022, with a walk-in shower, new flooring, vanity, and commode. The basement is clean, dry as a bone, and houses a 3 yr old high effic. HEIL furnace, a Rheem hot water tank installed in 2018, updated 100 amp electric panel by Siemens, glass block windows, storage space, and a laundry area where the newer washer and dryer will remain. It doesn't get any more all-American than the picture-perfect exterior, with vinyl siding, the fern-lined, covered front porch that beckons you to have a seat and relax and offers more privacy than you'd expect. The backyard offers a quaint little patio space for a table and chairs, and a lovely garden to keep you busy and happy throughout the year. Gentlemen, or industrious ladies, while the garage probably won't house your vehicles, it is the perfect workshop, man cave, or she-shed for anyone. Close to groceries, gas, great highway access, and community-based activities. There is no way to go wrong when you invest in this wonderful and affordable home!
