Perfectly positioned across from beloved Tommy's Pond and just a 10-minute stroll to award-winning Downtown Metuchen, this home offers an exceptional blend of location, lifestyle, and possibility. Beyond the home, a truly special outdoor retreat awaits. The lush garden oasis is a gardener's dream, thoughtfully cultivated with an array of herbs and fruit trees and complemented by a newly updated, expansive patio designed for effortless outdoor living and entertaining. Inside, the Cape Cod layout offers wonderful versatility, with two first-floor bedrooms currently styled as a family room and private home office. A full basement provides generous storage along with exciting potential for additional living or recreation space. A one-car garage and adjoining carport complete the property.

And perhaps its greatest luxury is the lifestyle just outside your door. Enjoy morning walks on the picturesque Middlesex Greenway trail, afternoon breaks at Tommy's Pond, evening dining Downtown, shopping at charming boutiques and the local Whole Foods; recharge at the YMCA or gather at your preferred place of worship; highly rated schools, and convenient access to NJ Transit to NYCall within minutes of home. Timeless charm, an enchanting garden, and an exceptional Metuchen addressready for its next chapter.
