About This Home
Presenting 36 James Street! Centrally located between Walnut St & Watchung Plaza, this home was just completely rebuilt and thoughtfully designed by local developer Rustic Appeal LLC.

The heart of the home showcases a dream kitchen w/ GE Cafe appliances, 10' center island and views of the entire 1st Floor. All complemented by 10 ft ceilings throughout, a built-in breakfast nook, walk-in pantry, dry bar, and seamless access to the patio. More intimate spaces are layered in, with the vaulted ceiling TV room (14 ft) and 1st floor guest suite w/ bedroom, full bath & office. Upstairs, you'll find the breathtaking, south facing leisure room, w/ 16' ceilings, flooded with natural light from AM to PM. The 2nd floor continues to impress with a stunning primary suite with 16' ceilings, two more beds with J&J bath and a laundry room decked out w/ cabinet & closet storage, generous counter space, and an extra sink. The lower level offers a versatile rec room, w/ a full bath and space for a 2nd office. Outside, the house perks continue with a 2-car garage w/ 11' ceilings + EV charger, a lush backyard w/ new perimeter fence, irrigation system, and a covered walk-out from the basement.
