Property Description
Welcome to this colonial where modern luxury lives just steps from the train station, local parks, and major commuter routes. This expansive 5,214-square-foot residence delivers an impressive blend of sophisticated finishes and thoughtful design across three functional levels. As you enter the front porch, and into the foyer, the open layout begins at the living room that opens into the formal dining room, where refined millwork creates an atmosphere of understated elegance. Continue into the heart of the home and discover the show-stopping family room, where dramatic coffered ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and walls of oversized windows flood the space with natural light and frame picturesque views of the lush backyard. This room flows into the chef's kitchen, which features an oversized island, and a generous pantry for all of your storage needs. Just off the kitchen, a sun-drenched breakfast nook overlooks the yard through sliding glass doors, making morning coffee and casual meals feel like a daily retreat. A first-floor bedroom with its own full bathroom offers versatile living, while a convenient kitchenette and a powder room round out this remarkably functional main level. Upstairs, the primary suite awaits with two spacious closets and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom showcasing a double vanity. The princess suite provides its own private en suite bathroom. Three additional bedrooms share a common bathroom featuring a double vanity, and a conveniently located laundry room keeps daily routines effortless. The unfinished basement boasts nine-foot ceilings, insulated walls, and a clean concrete floor a blank canvas ready to be transformed into whatever your lifestyle demands. Outside you'll enjoy the paver patio, perfect for grilling and al fresco dining, the elevated deck off the rear of the home, and a sprawling, level backyard surrounded by mature trees and full privacy fencing. Located less than half a mile from the Metuchen train station and less than a mile from Oakland Park, with easy access to Middlesex Ave and Rt 27, this home places you at the center of everything Metuchen has to offer.
