The updated kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and ample cabinet and counter space. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including one currently used as a private dressing room, along with a renovated period-style bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, period sink, and original tile. The beautifully landscaped backyard offers a private retreat with a large paver patio and fire pit. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, underground lawn sprinklers, and a whole-house water filtration system. Conveniently located near NJ Transit and NYC transportation.
