Skyline View Single Family Home Building Lot In Watchung, NJ
This is a 1.47 acre lot with 157' frontage and ~410' depth on Johnston Drive. All utilities are in place and there is a sewer main easement located at the last 100' of the lot down the hill that services several homes as part of a subdivision done by the "Sisters Of Mercy of NJ" (Corporate name) in the early 1980s. The Gas and Water stubs are located approximately 20' from the West side property corner peg marker at the Belgian block curb. The front yard setback requirement is 50 feet and the terrain affords the opportunity to design and build your custom home with the first floor level to the road, a turn around driveway, and a walk out basement to a rear yard. This is a quiet area with close access to Rt 22 and Rt 78 for wide commute access. -- The owner phone number is (908) 647-9010 and does not accept texting.
