About this home

Charm on the outside, brand-new bones on the inside Welcome to North Plainfield's Historic District! This bright and inviting 3-bedroom Cape Cod gives you the best of both worlds: timeless character with the peace of mind of a home already updated where it counts. In 2013 the interior was taken down to the studs and rebuilt. All new plumbing, all new electrical, new insulation, new sheetrock, and double-pane windows throughout. The big-ticket work is done, so you can simply move in and enjoy. The main level is where the character lives, with warm original-style wood moldings, an updated kitchen, a powder room, and a generously sized first-floor bedroom. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms sharing a spacious full bath. Sunlight pours in all day long. Downstairs, the basement is ready to become your rec room, home gym, playroom, or office with its own full bath for added convenience. Out front, lovely landscaping and a big welcoming porch sets the tone. Out back, there's plenty of open space to spread out, plus a gazebo a playground and a large shed. Not in a flood zone, with no history of flooding even through major storms. Great character, great location, great home. Come see it for yourself!
