About this House

OFFER PENDING - Property is still being actively shown.

FOR SALE BY OWNER - (609) 289-0578 or njsuperdad@optonline.net - for appointment. Your realtor WILL NOT show you this listing as there is no potential for commission, so you will need to act on your own.
Three aspects of this property that comparably priced listings will never have are "Location, Location, Location". Rooms and other amenities can be added or changed - location cannot. The wise buyer will understand. Metuchen is a dynamically growing and changing town - no matter how much the town develops, Ely Court will ALWAYS be safe from over-development - making it a oasis in the middle of it all

Realtors will not show this property due to lack of financial incentive ~ some of them are even providing misinformation about this listing in order to sell their listing.

SHOWN BY OWNER. By Appointment Only! Call (609) 289-0578 or e-mail njsuperdad@optonline.net. Please deselect the realtor and select "Property Owner" if you choose to use the either the "Contact" or "Get More Information" button.

Charming Tudor-style Cape situated on a serene and inviting cul-de-sac, within walking distance to the downtown area and commuter trains (NJ Transit - 50 minutes to NYC). The property begins with a neatly manicured front yard, leading to a secluded front porch (10' x 14' - not enclosed). Enter a spacious living room (12' x 16') which features a wood-burning fireplace (heats the entire house), and flows neatly into a formal dining area (12' x 12'). Bright and airy, the kitchen (9' x 13') offers ample cabinet space, as well as an eat-in breakfast nook overlooking the manicured back yard and patio. Off the kitchen is a full basement which is partially finished (primarily used as a "mud room" ~ 16' x 19' ~), and has an adjoining laundry area and workshop (20' x 25' approx.). The property features 3 relatively LARGE bedrooms, with a Master Bedroom (15' x 21') that boasts a 6' x 18' walk-in closet that's lined with cedar (moth proof) - the room also sports dual skylights and ceiling fan. A large storage closet (12' x 5') adjacent to the Master Bedroom is an ideal location for an additional bathroom. The smaller bedrooms, located on the main floor, are by no means small in comparison, at 12' x 12' and 12' x 14' (both with ample closet space). There is a FULL basement, contrary to the Zillow checkbox, which is partially finished (mudroom). All major appliances and most furniture included! Security system (burglar, fire, CO2) covers all floors. New windows, new roof, new water heater, new furnace, all pipes replaced, 110v circuit breakers, and more.

NO OIL TANK! Gas heat and hot water.

There are also a fully executed Title Search and Survey (done 12/2015) on the property, which were performed as part of a prior contract (cancelled by seller). This is a windfall for any future buyer.

Seller has no realtor fees (feel free to bring a realtor at your own expense).

My son was bullied at moss school repeatedly throughout the year. We took all of the reasonable steps, such as speaking with the teacher first on multiple occasions, which never seemed to help. The day I had finally reached my breaking point, was when I picked my son up from school one day and he had a look of complete terror on his face.....I had never seen him so afraid. His knee was scraped and bleeding, he had been pushed and threatened. From this point on, the school opened a "bullying" investigation (which was a complete joke), but nothing really came of it. This school does not take bullying seriously, so be careful if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. 2 other parents in my son's class also pulled their children from this school midway through the school year because of the same 2 children in the class that were negatively affecting their children. They also tried getting help from Moss, to no avail. We moved so that my son would not have to continue in this school district.
