Property Description
Beautifully maintained and tastefully updated, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Highland Park. Warm wood floors run through the main level, with a sunlit living room, a separate dining room, and a spacious family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace. The updated eat-in kitchen is the showpiece, with rich cherry cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, double wall ovens, and full stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, four freshly painted bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, including a primary suite with its own full bath and multiple closets. The finished basement adds a large recreation room, a separate office or bonus room, plus laundry and storage. Updated systems include 2-zone central air, gas forced-air heat, and a gas water heater, and assumable Sunrun solar panels (about $166 per month) help keep energy costs down. Out back, a composite deck overlooks a fenced yard with a mature shade tree. A short stroll away from downtown Highland Park, Donaldson Park, and the Raritan, with Rutgers University and downtown New Brunswick about a mile away. The New Brunswick train station to NYC about 1.5 miles. The popular H Mart and 99 Ranch shopping plaza is about 2 miles away
