About This Home

As of August 2014

You'll love this Craftsman style home in the heart of Hightstown. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, it's close to the restaurants, schools and shopping. Step onto the lovely front porch and imagine sipping iced tea and relaxing at the end of the day. In the living room you'll immediately see the attention to detail that only houses of this era have: hardwood floors, generous moldings and trims, wood burning fireplace and the wide doorway to the formal dining room. The updated kitchen includes new Corian counters, new stainless commercial range with griddle, stainless dishwasher and new side-by-side refrigerator. Conveniently located next to the kitchen is the laundry area with front loading washer and dryer. There is also a newly remodeled full bath. Continue on to the wonderful back yard with a deck and paver patio. The large property wraps around to the side of the house and is fenced. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and another full bath. Each bedrooms has generous closet space. There is a full basement with drainage system and sump pump. The roof has been replaced, the water heater is new, there is a security system and the house is wired for VIOS. There's no place like home!
