About this home
Single Family · Built 1947
Pride of ownership shines throughout this beautifully maintained home, offering a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and modern updates. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a fully finished wallk-out basement with a wet bar, this home is perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The home boasts incredible curb appeal, and upon entry, you're greeted by a cozy mudroom/foyer area, ideal for organizing shoes, coats, and bags. In 2019, the entire first floor was renovated, creating an open-concept living space and a modern kitchen with updated finishes and appliances. The home also features an attached garage with direct access to the kitchen. Outside, enjoy the fully fenced-in yard with a beautiful paver patio, perfect for gatherings or relaxing. With a newer water heater, roof, furnace, and washer & dryer, you can buy with confidence, knowing many major systems have already been updated. Situated next to Oakland Park and a short distance to Roosevelt Park, this home is close to outdoor recreation and just a short stroll to downtown Metuchen with its vibrant restaurants, shops, and events. Commuters will love the proximity to the train station with routes to NYC and Princeton, as well as easy access to major highways like the Parkway, Route 1, Turnpike, and 287.
