This house is nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in a charming neighborhood close to Metuchen's downtown offering convenience and serenity. This well-maintained property features a cozy yet inviting atmosphere with a breezeway that adds a touch of character, connecting the home to the garage. The living room flows nicely into the kitchen that includes all newer stainless-steel appliances and a separate eating area. The 4th bedroom is currently being used as a den with sliding doors that open up to the large and shaded deck. There's more room to spread out in the fully finished basement and the fully fenced in yard offers privacy in your own little oasis. A stroll away from Oakland Park and Roosevelt Park, you will love this location.
