About this home

Welcome home to this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, offering approximately 1, 015 sq ft on the main level plus an 848 sq ft finished basement. New main entry doors fill the home with natural light, while modern neutral paint, brand-new 5-panel solid doors, updated molding, and matte black doorknobs and locks create a clean, cohesive look throughout. The main floor features hardwood floors and flows easily from the living room to the dining area and kitchen, with dual-tone paint in the living and dining areas and crown molding in the living room. The updated kitchen showcases a farmhouse sink and a full Samsung appliance package. The tiled main bath offers a relaxing bathtub, while the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms provide comfortable, versatile living space. The private basement has its own separate entrance plus convenient access from the main level, adding exceptional flexibility. Durable LVP flooring runs through the expansive recreation room, which offers plenty of space for gatherings, entertaining, media, or fitness. You will also find a bonus room for a home office or hobby space, a tiled full bath with an extra-large rainfall shower, and a generous laundry room with a wash sink. Samsung washer and dryer are included. Modern upgrades continue with LED recessed lighting with a built-in night light for a warm, cozy feel, Google Home-compatible smart switches, and USB/Type-C outlets. Outside, the big fenced-in backyard has entrances from two different streets, and the 1-car garage at the back of the property has its own separate entrance. Conveniently located near the NJ Turnpike, Routes 1/9, shopping, and NYC. Move-in ready with nothing to do but unpack.
