Welcome to this warm and wonderfully laid-out split-level home in the desirable Putnam Manor neighborhood! Recently updated in 2022, this home blends classic charm with fresh finishes throughout. Inside you?re greeted by a spacious foyer that flows seamlessly into a bright and airy living room. The formal dining area opens up to the backyard deck through sliding glass doors, creating an easy indoor-outdoor vibe that?s prime for gatherings. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a central island that doubles as a prep space and hangout zone. Bonus: there's access to the deck right off the kitchen, so grill nights are a breeze! Upstairs, you?ll find three comfy bedrooms with plush carpeting underfoot, including a serene primary suite with its own en suite bath. The main bath serves the other two bedrooms. Head down to the lower level where you?ll find a cozy den with a rustic half bath that adds charm, and a fully finished basement that offers space for hobbies, music, games, or just kicking back. There's also a gas fireplace (currently capped) and a dedicated laundry area tucked neatly behind double doors. Out back, enjoy a fully fenced yard complete with a raised deck, storage shed, and even room to lounge or play. The location? Ideal. You?re just under 2 miles to both Roselle Park and Union train stations, and a quick half-mile from local bus transportation for easier commuting.
