About This Home

As of August 2019

Nestled in a quiet Bound Brook neighborhood, this is the home you have been DREAMING of! Upon entering the newly renovated 4-bedroom 2 full bath expanded cape cod you will jump for joy! The gleaming refinished hardwood floor, elegant lighting, and soft neutral colors make you feel right at home. You open the front door and are welcomed by a spacious living room. Look at all that natural light how sunshiny and wonderful! Straight ahead is a beautiful dining room and to the left is a brand-new, high-end kitchen, boasting granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and stainless-steel GE appliances. We both know you ll probably never use anything besides the microwave and dishwasher, but your friends will still be jealous. Beyond that is an elegant four-season sunroom where you can enjoy privacy and read a book or just sit, look out over your expansive backyard, and contemplate what a good decision you made buying this house. As you move to the right, you ll appreciate the new full bathroom one of two. And look at those nicely appointed bedrooms. Ok, now you go upstairs. What a beautiful master suite: a large room, with luxurious new carpet, plenty of closet space and a full master bathroom with walk-in shower. It will certainly be difficult to leave this room. But the tour s not over yet. You ll notice that all four bedrooms are generously sized. Your new HVAC system, including central A/C, furnace, and ductwork, will keep you cool in the hot summer months and warm during the winter. The detached one-car garage would make a great workshop or storage space. The full basement with separate laundry room will also make for great storage or it can be finished and converted to a killer game room. Enjoy your dream commute, just minutes from the NYC train, with easy access to Route I-287, Route 22, Route I-78 and Route 28. A short walk to Condrington Park with basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground, and a community pool, this property in this location will NOT last long! Make your appointment today! Or better yet, make an offer you just took the tour.
