About this home
Beautifully maintained, east facing brick ranch offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, encompassing an expansive 1,737 finished square feet complemented by an additional 1,120 square feet in the fully finished walk-out basement. Perched above the street on a corner lot with paver retaining walls, pathways and driveway. As you enter, you'll be greeted with stunning hardwood floors that lead into a light-filled living and dining room. Just beyond is the kitchen with access to the large deck overlooking your well landscaped yard. The hardwood floors continue down the hall and into all the bedrooms. The primary suite is complete with a cozy sitting room which can serve as an office or nursery, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. There are also two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom. The finished basement presents excellent potential as a multi-generational suite, featuring walk-out access to the large sunroom with wood burning fireplace, large windows for natural light, and three separate areas that can serve as a den, office, or kitchenette plus a full bath with laundry. Additional highlights include two zone baseboard heating, central air conditioning (new compressor in 2023 and air handler in 2024), and front and side yards with an underground sprinkler system. Located in a vibrant community, this home is just across from a park and offers easy access to schools, restaurants, community center and shopping (including two nearby malls and Wegmans). Commuting is a breeze with nearby access to Woodbridge and MetroPark train stations. Highest and best due by 10/30 at 10am.
