About this home
Beautifully maintained and move-in ready, this lovely home has been thoughtfully updated and enhanced by its owners over the years. Offering plenty of elbow room, an oversized two-car garage, and newer major components, this is a home you can simply unpack and enjoy! The backyard is an entertainer's paradise, featuring a fully fenced yard, swimming pool with a newer liner and filter, and a covered patio perfect for outdoor gatherings. The roof is approximately five years old and features new sheathing and ice-and-water shield. Tucked away on a dead-end street, yet just minutes from NYC transportation, major highways, shopping, schools, and restaurants, this home offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and easy living!
