About this home

Welcome to this timeless Classic Colonial in the highly desirable North Edison community! More than 3600 sq ft plus finished walkout basement! Thoughtfully designed with spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout, this exceptional home blends luxury, comfort, and functionality. Step into the sun filled grand two-story foyer featuring soaring ceilings and dual coat closets, setting the tone for the elegant living spaces beyond. Recessed lights in most rooms. Hardwood floors through out the house except wet areas. The main level offers a formal living room, formal dining room with buffet counter, a warm family room with a gas fireplace. The expansive kitchen is a chef's dream, showcasing maple cabinetry, all new stainless steel appliances, built-in microwave, a massive center island, brand-new quartz countertops and backsplash, and a sunny second dining area. A convenient first-floor bedroom, full bathroom, laundry room, and direct access to the deck complete the first level. Upstairs, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms, including a dramatic oversized primary suite featuring a luxurious ensuite bath, two walkin closets, an additional closet, and abundant living space. A well-appointed hallway bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The fully finished walkout basement is designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, offering a recreation room, full bathroom, and functional wet bar. Steel beam construction eliminates traditional lally columns, creating an open, unobstructed layout and seamless flow throughout the basement. Additional highlights include a sump pump battery backup (2025), whole house filter system, alkaline water filter under kitchen sink, attic storage partially finished with plywood flooring, gutter guards, Ring security camera system, and a Tesla charging outlet in the garage. The beautifully landscaped yard is complemented by sprinkler system, a shed and a low-maintenance composite Trex deck, providing the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. A rare combination of size, quality, and thoughtful upgrades in one of North Edison's most sought-after neighborhoods!
