704 Greenbrook Rd, North Plainfield, NJ 07063-1670
About this home
Step into a rare piece of New Jersey history at 704 Greenbrook Rd. Believed to be North Plainfield's oldest home, with origins dating to circa 1740, this extraordinary residence is thought to have once served as a carriage house. Enjoy the charm of a historic home without the restrictions typically associated with historic designation. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, the home features refinished hardwood floors, original wide-plank floors upstairs, a walnut staircase, original fireplaces (as-is), an updated kitchen, first-floor laundry, and a beautifully renovated bath with slate, tumbled marble, and natural stone. Classic steam heat adds cozy comfort throughout. Outside, enjoy a private yard with a new swimming pool, raised garden beds, workshop garage, and a gated driveway with parking for approximately 10 vehicles. Recent improvements include foundation enhancements and a newer furnace. The property is also outside a FEMA-designated flood zone. Conveniently located just minutes from the Dunellen NJ Transit station, major highways, shopping, and dining. A truly one-of-a-kind home where nearly three centuries of history meet thoughtful modern updates, offering exceptional craftsmanship, timeless character, and an unforgettable story.
This Cape Cod home sounds absolutely delightful! Its spacious layout, charming features, and ample outdoor space make it a gem in North Plainfield. The secluded backyard with a paved patio and gazebo sounds like the perfect spot for outdoor gatherings or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors. And with a fully fenced yard, there's plenty of privacy and security. The convenience of its location near major routes and the downtown shopping district, as well as its proximity to the Dunellen train station, makes it ideal for commuters. And let's not forget the car or bike enthusiasts who will surely appreciate the over-sized garage with a professional workshop and ample driveway space for up to 10 vehicles. Fully fenced backyard. Inside, the home offers a generous layout with a bright and airy country-style kitchen that's perfect for both cooking and entertaining. The Italian marble counter-tops and newer appliances add a touch of luxury, while the two charming fireplaces (which could be re-activated) add character and warmth to the space. The main bedroom with its walk-in closet and attic storage, alongside the additional bedroom on the second floor, provide comfortable living quarters. And the partially finished basement offers even more storage space and convenience with internal access. Overall, this unique home seems like the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. It's definitely a place where memories can be made for many years to come, especially with summer just around the corner
