Charming 3 BR 1.5 BA Colonial-inspired Cape in the historic village of East Millstone, recognized in 2019 by the NJ Chapter of the American Planning Association as a Great Place to live. Once home to the voice behind The Town I Crow About, this property is rooted in the village's local character. The town's compact layout and closely spaced homes foster a close-knit community. Beautifully maintained, the home features cedar-shake siding and stands on a prominent corner lot. It showcases original oak hardwood floors, chestnut trim, a spacious DR with built-in china cabinet & stained-glass window, and an inviting LR with custom bookcases. The updated eat-in kitchen offers quartz counters, new LVT floor, custom oak cabinets, reclaimed barn beams, and a new SS frig. A relaxing 4-season porch completes the 1st floor. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Other highlights include a double staircase, a walk-up attic, and a full basement with interior access and a separate exterior entrance. Recent updates include: a newly painted interior; new roof, gutters, & leader drains; upgraded electrical panels & an exterior generator hookup connected to the home's electrical system (generator included). A detached 4-car garage with a subpanel, 240V service, and compressor offers exceptional space for the hobbyist or craftsman. Ideally situated near Colonial Park & the D&R Canal State Park, the home is also near shopping, with commuting options by car and public transportation. A must see!
