About this home

Welcome to this well-maintained ranch-style home, tucked away on a secluded street in sought-after Metuchen. This inviting residence offers two bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. The living room features a picture window that fills the space with abundant natural light. The second owner, during four years of ownership, upgraded the home with all-new appliances, central air conditioning, and key utility improvements. Stairway access to the attic provides convenient additional storage. A full basement with both walk-out and interior access offers flexible space and strong return-on-investment potential. Among the recent upgrades is a professionally installed asphalt driveway, enhancing both functionality and curb appeal. Additional features include a central vacuum system and leased solar panels. The fenced-in yard is ideal for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. Centrally located, this home provides easy access to NYC, major highways, shopping, houses of worship, and nearby parks
