About This Home
As of January 2023A one-of-a-kind gem for those who appreciate beautiful waterfront living, value privacy and enjoy nature while still wanting to be close to the pulse of Central NJ and all it has to offer. This bright and airy home was completely rebuilt in 2010 with a contemporary and open floor plan featuring lots of natural lighting that brings the outdoors inside. The only thing left from the original structure is a Cold War era bomb shelter that remains accessible. Located right off a major New Jersey thoroughfare, in contrast this dead-end street offers a peaceful setting. The very close proximity to the NYC bus stop makes it a commuters dream. Academics will appreciate how close it is to Rutgers University and the vibrant city of New Brunswick. Boaters will love the property as it has a groomed path to your own private slip for kayak and canoe launching, with potential for much more. Situated on an extremely rare one acre of waterfront property, a truly unique feature is a one-room standalone structure perched high over the Raritan River directly across the water from 90-acre Donaldson Park offering breathtaking panoramic views. Supposedly built by the Army Corps of Engineers before the house was constructed, the lookout building'' has a wood burning fireplace, plus electric and plumbing lines (plumbing not currently hooked up) Building sold "as is". Best to visit in daylight hours. Showings begin November 3. Open house November 6.
