Property Description
Welcome to 53 Center St, Metuchen! Located on a quiet side street within the desirable Franklin Square community, this property is a rare opportunity to be in one of the area's most desirable locations. This spacious, well-maintained, and recently upgraded first-floor townhome offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The open living space is welcoming from the second you step in the door. The living, sitting, dining and kitchen are all open to one another and flow beautifully together. An updated and partially open kitchen featuring granite countertops allows for simple and easy hosting. The two bedrooms are just down the hall and are accompanied by ample closet space both in the rooms and the hallways. The primary bedroom offers a large step-in closet along with a renovated full bathroom. There is also a private balcony off of the bedroom that offers seclusion and serenity with a view of the community. The second bedroom is a nice size and offers large closet space as well. The stackable washer/dryer are located right outside the bedrooms for ultimate convenience. There is also a huge, finished basement that has very rarely even been walked in. Office, gym, second living room, extra bedroom - the potential uses of the basement are endless. Additionally, there is a large, unfinished back storage room featuring laundry hook-ups for those who wish to move the washer/dryer downstairs. This property has had only one occupant since it's construction in 2001 and was meticulously cared for the entire time. Much of the space and some of the rooms have barely ever been touched. Recent renovations include: Primary Bath (2024), Furnace (2021), A/C Unit (2024), Kitchen (2019), New Washer/Dryer (2023). The location is unbeatable, just steps away from Downtown Metuchen, Whole Foods, NYC train, and the Metuchen Greenway. Whether you're seeking an incredible location with modern convenience or something move-in ready with the rare charm of small-town living, this home has it all. A wonderful opportunity not to be missed. Schedule your private tour today! HIGHEST AND BEST DEADLINE OF SATURDAY 1/17/26 AT 12 nooon.
