Description
Offered for the first time by the original owner, this classic center-hall Colonial sits on 2.28 acres with a circular driveway in a highly desirable setting. The home invites updating and offers a rare opportunity to renovate and customize. The traditional layout features spacious living and dining rooms and a family room with a brick fireplace that is open to the large center-island kitchen. The kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, granite countertops, dual sinks, stovetop, wall oven and a sun-filled vaulted breakfast room with skylights. A paver patio is accessed directly from the kitchen level. Upstairs are four bedrooms with hardwood floors, including a primary suite with private bath and ample closets. The walk-out basement provides excellent storage, future finishing potential and opens to a second expansive paver patio and private backyard ideal for recreation and entertaining. Convenient to top-rated schools, parks, shopping, dining, major highways and NJ Transit. Updates include boiler and hot water heater (2017), 20 kW generator (2013), chimney liner (2012), and AC (2007).
