    What's special

    Nestled in the woods on a quiet dead-end street in the Norseville neighborhood of Franklin Township, this charming, well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod-style home offers comfort, character, and convenience. Set on 0.4 acres, the home features 1,557 sf of living space, a welcoming front-entry foyer with French door, hardwood floors throughout most of the first floor, and abundant natural light from numerous windows. The first floor offers a spacious living room and dining room connected by a graceful archway, an eat-in kitchen with custom tile floors, a first-floor den/TV room with custom built-ins and closets, and a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and sliding doors to a large, low-maintenance back deck (168 sq ft). Relax to the sound of birdsong while enjoying the lush, private backyard filled with beautiful flowers, shrubs, and mature trees. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms, plus a bonus room, ideal for a home office, study, or guest room. The unfinished basement, accessed from the mudroom at the back of the home, includes a full-size washer and dryer, utilities, and abundant storage space. A long driveway leads to the detached one-car garage with electricity, and a backyard shed provides even more storage. This peaceful neighborhood is conveniently located near the D&R Canal State Park towpath and trails, several parks, bike and walking paths, nature preserves, local farms, and Bunker Hill Golf Course. Enjoy easy access to the NYC bus stop with free parking on NJ-27 in Kendall Park (about 2 miles away), major roadways (US-206, NJ-27 & US-1), and just a short drive to train stations, downtown Princeton (about 9 miles) and downtown New Brunswick (about 11 miles).
