This well-maintained three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence combines timeless charm with thoughtful updates. The kitchen is appointed with honed granite countertops, maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Kucht Professional range hood, and recessed lighting. Hardwood floors lend warmth throughout, complemented by newer energy-efficient vinyl windows that allow for ample natural light. The updated bathroom includes a whirlpool tub for added comfort. Additional highlights include a three-season enclosed front porch, a screened rear porch, and a beautiful yard with established garden beds. A long driveway with space for up to three cars provides convenient off-street parking. The full basement offers excellent storage space as well as laundry facilities. Converted to natural gas with the former oil tank removed, this home is ideally situated just 1.2 miles from the New Brunswick NJ Transit station and offers easy access to Rutgers University, the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 287, and the Garden State Parkway.
