About this home
**OPEN HOUSE this Saturday, 6/20 from 11am - 2pm** Tucked away in the corner of a quiet street on Lake Nelson, this lovely Cape Cod is the waterfront property you have been dreaming of. As you enter into the cozy sunroom, you can already get a glimpse of the outdoor oasis. The spacious kitchen is next, leading to the open living room with windows that provide optimal lake views. With 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home adequately fits your needs. The large living room is great for entertaining and accentuates the pristine view of the lake. As you walk out onto the back deck, you are greeted with the welcoming ambiance of nature. It's an ideal gathering place for a BBQ, or to simply relax and take in the scenery. In addition, the property is just steps away from a walking path that wraps around the lake to one of Piscataway's award winning parks. Don't miss the opportunity to make this home yours.
