About this home
Cozy, charming, and ready for its next chapter! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom one-family home is the perfect fit whether you're buying your first home, growing into more space, or simplifying without sacrificing comfort. Step inside and feel it right away: gleaming hardwood floors, classic architectural charm, and a solid, well-built feel that's hard to find these days. It's a home with real character, waiting for someone to make it their own. In-home laundry adds everyday ease, and the comfortable layout includes two full baths and two to three car parking for added convenience. Location adds even more to love. McGillivray Park and Eighth Ward Park are just minutes away, perfect for weekend walks, playgrounds, and fresh air. Everyday errands and treat-yourself trips are covered too, with Legacy Square (Walmart) and Aviation Plaza (Home Depot, AMC Theatres, dining, and more) just a short drive away. Commuters will appreciate the nearby Linden NJ Transit Station, offering a straightforward ride into NYC Penn Station.
