Storybook charm in the heart of Milltown! Nestled on a quiet street in one of Milltown's most desirable neighborhoods, this classic 1957 ranch blends traditional craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, guest space, or future third bedroom, the home showcases beautiful built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout, including a custom hand-painted hallway mural that adds warmth and personality. The full, unfinished basement provides abundant storage and endless possibilities for future expansion. An expansive deck overlooks the park-like backyard, creating an inviting setting for morning coffee, entertaining, or peaceful evenings outdoors. An oversized detached garage offers additional storage, workspace, or hobby space. Colonial next door (#80) also for sale, ideal for multi-generational living. Surrounded by many of Milltown's historic homes, this is more than just a house, it's an opportunity to become part of one of Central New Jersey's most welcoming communities. Ideally located just minutes from local parks, restaurants, shopping, and major commuting routes, you'll enjoy the small-town charm that makes Milltown so beloved, with convenient access to neighboring towns and everything Central New Jersey has to offer.
