The best thing about 409 South 2nd Avenue in Highland Park isn't the updated kitchen or
the finished basement, though those certainly help. It's the address: this is one of those rare
spots where you can genuinely leave the car at home.
It's a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial that's been beautifully maintained and tastefully updated.
Warm wood floors run through a sunlit living room, a separate dining room, and a family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The eat-in kitchen is the showpiece, with rich cherry cabinetry, granite counters, double wall ovens, and full stainless steel appliances.
Upstairs are four freshly painted bedrooms, including a primary with its own full bath, and the finished basement adds a rec room, a separate office, and plenty of storage. Out back, a
composite deck overlooks a fenced yard with a mature shade tree.
But the location is the real story. Walk to downtown Highland Park's shops and restaurants and to Donaldson Park along the Raritan. Rutgers and downtown New Brunswick are about a mile away, the New Brunswick train station to NYC is about 1.5 miles, and H Mart and 99 Ranch are about two miles up the road. There's even assumable Sunrun solar to help keep the electric bill down.
Offered at $700,000. Send me a message for a private showing or the full details.
