    Charming Metuchen Ranch-Ideal Starter Home or Downsizing Gem! Welcome to this delightful 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch-style home, perfectly situated on a large, private lot with no back neighbors and just three houses from Metuchen High School--a prime location, especially since the district does not provide bus service to the high school. Inside, you'll find a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring a closet pantry and convenient side-door access to the attached garage, backyard, and a large unfinished basement-ready to become your next rec room or home gym. Adjacent to the kitchen is a central dining room with a skylight that bathes the space in natural light. French doors open to a bright and airy sunroom, a cozy retreat overlooking the fully fenced backyard, with direct access to the deck and yard, where there's plenty of room for a pool. The refinished hardwood floors in a light oak finish, along with freshly painted interiors, make this home truly move-in ready. Additional comfort features include central air conditioning, forced hot heat, and an electronic air purifier. Additional Highlights: Quiet, low-traffic street Just minutes from Metuchen & Metro Park Train Stations Close to Menlo Park Mall, JFK Hospital, Garden State Pkwy, NJ Turnpike, and other major commuting routes. Whether you're starting out or simplifying life, this well-maintained home is ready to welcome its next owner!
