About this home

Nestled on a quiet dead-end street in Piscataway's most prestigious neighborhood, this magnificent brick colonial with a timeless slate roof offers an unparalleled blend of classic charm and modern versatility. The estate makes a grand impression with its sweeping circular driveway and massive four car garage, providing a rare and perfect setup for the serious car enthusiast or collector. The grounds transition into a resort-style backyard featuring multi-tier slate patios and a large in-ground pool. The interior flows into light filled charming rooms that include a sunroom with vaulted ceilings and skylights. A standout feature is the flexible living space above the garage, which currently hosts a one-bedroom style apartment with a private bathroom and an adjacent unfinished area ready to expand into a much larger luxury suite or guest wing. With its finished lower level and significant expansion potential, this historic property offers rare privacy and multi-generational possibilities in a prime Central Jersey location.
