About This Home
Step into the character and charm of this stately Colonial, ideally set along desirable River Road in Piscataway. With 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 3 spacious levels of living, this home offers a rare combination of history, space, and potential. Inside, you'll find a traditional Colonial layout with formal living and dining rooms, some hardwood floors, and vintage detailing throughout. A thoughtfully designed addition to the back of the home, brings a sun-filled room with a wall of windows overlooking the yard - perfect as a great room, artist's studio, or home office. From here, a door opens to an expansive covered porch, offering an inviting outdoor living space for relaxing or entertaining. The second floor has a primary bedroom with en suite bath, and a room sized cedar lined closet, as well as 2 other bedrooms and full hall bath. The finished third floor attic adds even more versatility with the fourth bedroom, a full bath, and a convenient kitchenette - an ideal space for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. Central air conditioning on the first floor adds comfort to this classic home. Set on a picturesque lot that backs to natural undeveloped parkland, the property offers peaceful surroundings, mature trees, and scenic views. The location is unbeatable: just minutes to Rutgers University, Colgate-Palmolive's Research Center, major highways including Route 287 and the NJ Turnpike, and NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line stations for easy commuting. Having served as a Township-compliant rental property for the last 5 years until August 2025, this home also presents a compelling investment opportunity. Previously, it was sold by the original owner to one family who have cherished it for 68 years, reflecting decades of pride in ownership and care. Whether you choose to renovate for yourself or for future tenants, the possibilities are vast. A classic home ready to shine again and just down the road from new construction homes priced from $1.4 million. Opportunities like this are rare, so don't miss the chance to make this timeless property your own. Note: some grass photos enhanced. Side yard to right of wood shed (when looking out from rear of house) is not part of this lot - it is parkland.
