Description

This spacious 5-bedrooms, 3.5-baths and over 3,200 square feet of living space with a layout that gives everyone room to spread out. The 1st floor offers plenty of living space, including a formal living room, formal dining room, a relaxing family room with a fireplace, a home office/study, and a bright morning room off the kitchen. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, a generous sized pantry, and access to the mudroom leading to the two-car garage. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find four nice sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, plus a large bonus room, perfect for a playroom, media/movie room, game room, gym, or additional office.

Suppliments: The spacious primary bedroom includes its own private bath and walk in closet. Upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience, while a second laundry area is located in the basement. The fifth bedroom is also located in the basement in-law suite. There is an impressive amount of closet and storage space throughout the home. One of the biggest highlights is the FINISHED BASEMENT, featuring a FULL IN LAW SUITE/ setup complete with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, and separate exterior entrance. It's ideal for extended family, guests, or anyone who would appreciate extra privacy and independence. Outside is where this home really shines! The peaceful backyard backs to a wooded buffer and is filled with beautiful gardens that have clearly been cared for over the years. There's also a paver patio, underground sprinklers, a fenced yard, and still plenty of room if you've ever dreamed of adding a pool. The gas furnace and central air have both been replaced within the last 5 years. Additional features include a Cummins WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR for added peace of mind. The location is another plus, situated across from a park, close to shopping, and conveniently located with easy access to the Garden State Parkway. Zoned R-100, the property may also offer possibilities for professional home business uses! If you've been searching for a home with space, flexibility, and a backyard you'll actually want to spend time in, this one is worth seeing! *Please note that the rear year photos with the pool are AI renderings so that you can get a visual idea of what the yard could look like with an inground pool. Rendering is not to scale and buyers should do their due diligence in regards to actual pool sizing, etc. The grass color has been slightly enhanced. Room measurements are approximate.
