Serenity in Dewey Heights awaits you in this private oasis in New Brunswick. Tucked away in a cul-de-sac community just behind the Rutgers' Douglas Campus, this stunning almost 2,200 sq. ft. residence offers the rare combination of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. From the moment you follow the paved walkway past the lush, professional landscaping, you'll feel the world slow down. The exterior is Cedar sided. The heart of the home has the main level designed for both quiet afternoons and vibrant entertaining. The Kitchen features a center island with SS appliances. Cozy gatherings can warm up by the fireplace in the spacious living room or host elegant dinners in the formal dining room with a picturesque view of the gardens. Retreat to the library/family room for a good book, or enjoy the transition of the seasons from your beautiful Sun Room with 3 views of the backyard oasis. A half bath completes the first level. The second floor features three spacious bedrooms, including a Master Suite with its own private full bath, and a main bath. The Basement is finished with a third full bathroom, a recreation room, and a flexible space perfect for a home office or gym (guest bedroom?). Step outside into your own private botanical garden with outdoor access lighting showing you the way, plus a sprinkler system to keep the grass green. The entirely fenced backyard is wrapped in lush greenery, featuring a large patio designed for everything from intimate family BBQs to sophisticated garden parties. There is a 2-car attached garage with a storage loft and electric vehicle charger! Location, Location, Location... Enjoy this peace of a tucked away neighborhood while being minutes from the pulse of Downtown New Brunswick. Close to the train station for easy access to NYC/Philly, 0.2 miles to express NYC bus, 1 mile from NJTP Exit 9, 2 miles from downtown New Brunswick with world-class theaters, award-winning restaurants, two major hospitals, and Rutgers University. Experience the best of both worlds: tranquil cul-de-sac living with the city at your fingertips. Come see why this Dewey Heights gem feels like home the moment you arrive. SHOWINGS START May 3rd.
