About This Home

As of March 2019

Approx. 25 miles to NYC, just minutes to Exit 40 on Rte 78, yet a very quiet location. You won't be disappointed in this upscale home 1/2 in Watchung 1/2 in Warren. Taxes are paid to both towns. Fabulous floor plan and new hardwood flooring in the dining room. Master suite on the 1st floor, with 2 large closets, has a balcony overlooking the backyard with amazing evening views. Additional 3 bedrooms are on the 2nd level. The unsurpassed detailing in this warm contemporary home include "Cluster Maple" doors, wonderful architectural moldings and paneling detailing throughout. The open floor plan lends itself beautifully. Finished basement with 1/2 bath. The property on this fine home is extremely private (stated assessment and taxes are already combined). This is a lot of house in a great neighborhood.
