Updated Colonial with a charming front porch in Matawan offering a thoughtfully designed interior, turnkey condition, and easy access to New York City. This home features hardwood floors, a fully renovated open-concept kitchen with coffered ceilings, and a living room with vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace that opens directly to the backyard, a layout built for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Bathrooms have been updated, and the finishes throughout reflect genuine care and intention. The backyard is a standout: fully fenced with a new fence, new paver patio, and a shed for additional storage, all set up and ready to enjoy from day one. A new paver driveway adds to the curb appeal and rounds out a property where the exterior work has already been done.
Major systems have been addressed: furnace, central air, and roof are all under 10 years old, giving buyers a move-in ready home with the big-ticket items already handled. Just 0.5 miles from Broad Street's restaurants, coffee shops, and parks, and just over a mile from the Aberdeen-Matawan NJ Transit station with direct service to New York Penn Station. The Garden State Parkway is minutes away. 159 Washington Avenue is a well-maintained, move-in ready home for buyers ready to settle in and start living.
