About this home

Welcome home! Meticulously maintained and beautifully landscaped, this 3-bedroom home in Northern Metuchen offers comfortable living and inviting outdoor spaces. The first floor, updated in 2018, features beautiful flooring, recessed lighting, and a custom kitchen with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a Bosch dishwasher. A custom Anderson front window adds character, while sliding doors from the dining room open to a large wood deck and a second concrete patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite features two closets and a private half bath, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The fully updated walkout lower level offers a family room, half bath, laundry room, and direct access to the backyard. A rare combination of a built-in garage and detached garage with loft storage adds versatility, while a fully screened-in porch offers another place to relax. The roof was replaced approximately two years ago. Conveniently located a short distance from Metuchen High School, Oakland Park, and Olmezer Park.
