About this home

Rare opportunity in Metuchen! This move-in ready, well-maintained stone-front 1.5-story ranch with front porch sits on just under 1/3 acre of fenced, level property with an in-ground saltwater pool, large paver patio, and plenty of space for entertaining. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 updated baths, heat and CAC (4 years), 2 fireplaces, a 2-car attached garage, and generator (5 years), this home is filled with value and charm. Additional features include a large living room with wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, and spacious eat-in kitchen with center island, granite counters, abundant cabinetry, separate dining area, pantry, and laundry closet. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, while the second floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The full basement is completely sheet rocked and offers partially finished space with great potential. New exterior and storm doors, newer main-floor windows, and washer/dryer (1 year) complete this special home.
