About this home
Beautifully expanded and thoughtfully renovated, this spacious 4/5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and modern design. Two major additions have transformed the home, including a stunning second-level primary suite featuring an updated bath with stall shower, two step-in closets, and a second-floor office/den perfect for working from home, a study area, or quiet retreat. The highlight of the home is the spectacular open-concept first floor, where the expanded kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room and family room, creating one large gathering space perfect for entertaining a large family and hosting unforgettable holiday celebrations. Designed with both everyday living and special occasions in mind, this inviting space allows everyone to stay connected while cooking, dining, and relaxing together. The updated kitchen (2011) serves as the heart of the home and is complemented by tile flooring throughout the entire open living area, while a formal living room offers additional space for guests and quiet conversation. Hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout much of the home. Additional features include a partially finished full basement, 2-zone heat and central air, newer windows, newer driveway, and a brand-new roof installed in 2025. Step outside to a partially fenced backyard featuring a beautiful paver patio, perfect for BBQs, birthday parties, outdoor dining, and entertaining guests all summer long. Conveniently located close to schools and near Rutgers University, Routes 287, 78, and the Turnpike, this home offers the perfect setting for families looking for space to grow and memories to make for years to come.
