About this home

Set amid professionally designed landscaping in a peaceful, picturesque location, this distinguished Colonial makes a memorable first impression with its sweeping circular driveway and stately presence. Step inside to a welcoming foyer, where a gracefully curved staircase, hardwood accents, and traditional millwork introduce the home's classic character. A generously proportioned living room creates an ideal place for conversation and entertaining, while the grand formal dining room presents an elegant backdrop for memorable gatherings. Continue into the heart of the home, where the family room radiates warmth and character. A distinctive fireplace serves as its focal point, enhanced by a substantial wood mantel with decorative carved detailing, a stone surround, and adjoining built-in shelving. Hardwood flooring and views of the backyard complete this comfortable gathering area. The thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen showcases detailed cabinetry, granite countertops, a decorative range hood, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a center island with a sink and bar-style seating for casual meals or conversation. Sliding glass doors create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Nearby, a sizable laundry room features extensive cabinetry for added organization, while an additional versatile room, currently arranged as a butler's pantry, adds a sophisticated touch for entertaining and may also be adapted as a private home office, guest accommodations, or possible fifth bedroom. A conveniently located half bath completes the first level. Upstairs, the primary suite is complemented by a large walk-in closet, an additional closet, and a private full bath featuring a beautifully appointed stall shower. Three additional bedrooms are exceptionally generous in size, providing substantial accommodations with plenty of room for comfortable furnishings. A second full bath with dual sinks and a tub serves the upper level. The finished basement expands the possibilities even further, complete with a full bath and plenty of flexibility for a home theater, recreation, hobbies, storage, or supplementary living areas. Outside, the property unfolds into a private oasis with several distinct destinations for relaxation and entertainment. An expansive deck overlooks the swimming pool, creating an ideal backdrop for warm-weather enjoyment. Beyond the pool area, a separate paver-stone patio framed by handsome masonry features built-in seating and a dedicated fire pit, perfect for evenings outdoors. Additional yard area allows for play and recreation, while mature trees and lush surroundings enhance the privacy. Ideally positioned in a tranquil neighborhood near Farrington Lake and Bicentennial Park, this home offers proximity to NYC buses just blocks away and access to major routes like Route 1 & 130, Route 18, and the NJ Turnpike. Close to houses of worship and major hospitals. Enjoy East Brunswick Schools!
