Anchoring a big corner lot in Rutgers Village, this expanded Cape is packed with modern updates, thoughtful details, and a layout designed for comfortable, contemporary living. Inside, a mix of warm hardwood and sleek vinyl flooring creates a seamless flow through the home's sunlit rooms. Three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite on the upper level. The soft hum of ceiling fans gently stirs the air in many rooms, enhancing the overall ambiance. The open, renovated kitchen boasts elegant granite countertops that provide a striking contrast to the clean lines of the cabinetry. Updated appliances are cleverly integrated, allowing culinary creativity to flow in a friendly space that opens to a large, sky-lit dining area. A dual-sided fireplace adds character to the living and family rooms, while big picture and casement windows let the light shine in. A partially finished basement offers two flexible areas for recreation or hobbies adjacent to a practical laundry setup. The attached garage provides more than enough room for vehicles and projects alike. Stepping outside, a spacious deck overlooks a large, fenced backyard. At its center, an above-ground pool sparkles in the sunlight, offering a refreshing escape on summer days. Nearby, Rutgers University and a variety of shops, restaurants, and trains to both New York and Philly ensure the convenience of city living is never far away, while the quiet streets of Rutgers Village retain an old-fashioned neighborhood feel.
