Private, peaceful and exceptionally versatile, this Rockaway Township property offers the rare combination of usable outdoor space, documented improvements, and a flexible layout designed to adapt to changing needs. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced property surrounded by mature trees. This home provides a sense of privacy that’s increasingly hard to find. Enjoy established herb and lavender gardens, mature fruit trees, a bluestone patio, and generous outdoor living space with room for a fire pit or future pool with a leveled area and power. Multiple outbuildings offer storage and workspace while the u-shaped driveway provides abundant off road parking.
Inside, the kitchen features granite countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, with ample cabinet storage and propane cooking. The downstairs bathroom features radiant heated flooring with a jetted soaking tub.
Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms. One with a private en-suite bath with separate tiled shower stall along with a soaking tub. Both bedrooms have custom made closet storage and shelving. Both main floors offer linen closets. The main floor offers enclosed closet space beneath the stairs.
Downstairs, the flexible floor plan includes a finished lower level with separate entrances, well suited for today’s multigenerational lifestyle. There’s also pull down stairs to access attic storage.
