About this home
MOVE right in to this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom ranch set on a rare 0.67-acre lot in the heart of East Brunswick. The big-ticket updates are already done: newer laminate flooring, central air, an energy-efficient tankless water heater, and gas baseboard heat. The full finished basement adds valuable bonus living space ideal as a family room, home office, or gym and the eat-in kitchen comes complete with newer appliances. Step outside to a private, park-like backyard with an above-ground pool, detached garage, and plenty of room to garden, entertain, or expand. All this in the top-rated East Brunswick school district (East Brunswick High rated 9/10), with low taxes and quick access to shopping, dining, and NYC commuter transit. Lots this size rarely come available at this price now offered below the Zestimate.
