This sweet 1956 Cape Cod offers three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and a solid foundation for first-time buyers or those eager for a smart update. All major systems and the roof are under 10 years old, giving you a great start as you refresh the home's dated but charming spaces. Set on a generous 50x125 lot and close to the Metuchen train and downtown, it's a warm, well-kept home with real potential whether you're looking for your first place or your next project. Floor plans are accurate but not guarenteed
