About This Home
Welcome to this lovingly maintained Colonial, offered for the first time by its original owners. Tucked away just steps from the serene community park and minutes from the Garden State Parkway and Route 72, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.
The beautifully landscaped backyard is your own personal oasis, featuring a sparkling inground pool surrounded by a brand-new wood privacy fence and a spacious deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A mature butterfly bush adds a splash of natural color and charm.
Inside, cozy up by the fireplace in the warm and inviting family room. The layout includes a separate breakfast nook, a generous living room with sliding glass doors to the deck, and three bedrooms including a versatile nursery/playroom adjacent to the two smaller bedrooms. With 2.5 baths and plenty of thoughtful touches throughout, this home feels both classic and functional.
Recent upgrades include a sealed and vaporized crawlspace, reinsulated attic, a newer HVAC system (less than a year old), and energy-saving solar panels that keep utility bills low.
