Listing Description

Set on a desirable north-facing corner lot within East Brunswick's sought-after Greentree community, this distinctive Colonial showcases remarkable proportions, timeless character, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan. Hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and graceful architectural details introduce a residence created for everyday enjoyment and memorable gatherings.

The main level unfolds through beautifully connected spaces enhanced by large windows and French doors. A welcoming family room is anchored by a striking stone gas fireplace, providing a warm focal point for relaxing or entertaining. The dining room is distinguished by a vaulted ceiling, expansive windows, an elegant chandelier, and sliding glass doors opening directly to the backyard.

At the heart of the home, the well-appointed eat-in kitchen combines style and function with granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, a substantial gas range, double-bowl undermount sink, and pendant lighting.

A center island provides additional workspace, while a raised counter with bar seating offers a casual gathering spot. Just beyond the kitchen, an exceptionally large laundry room provides valuable storage and pantry space. A conveniently located powder room completes the main level.

Upstairs are five bedrooms. The primary suite features soaring ceilings, numerous windows, ample room for a vanity or sitting area, two walk-in closets, and an oversized private bath. Three additional bedrooms share a substantial full bath. The fifth bedroom offers an expansive walk-in closet and adjoining powder room, with exciting potential to create a second primary suite and future full bath.

A full basement extends the possibilities even further, offering abundant room for recreation, a home theater, playroom, fitness area, hobbies, storage, or a combination tailored to your needs. Step outside to a private backyard oasis where an in-ground pool takes center stage, complemented by stone paver walkways, a fenced garden area, and dedicated space for basketball and outdoor play.

A two-car garage adds everyday practicality. Perfectly situated for convenience, this home offers proximity to NYC buses and access to major routes including Route 18, Route 1, and the NJ Turnpike. Close to houses of worship, Downtown New Brunswick, Rutgers University, and major hospitals, with shopping, dining, and recreational amenities nearby.
