About this House

Welcome to this split-level home in Union's Battle Hill section, where a spacious multi-level layout creates plenty of room to gather, unwind, and make each space your own. Step inside to a welcoming foyer that opens to the kitchen, dining area, and a generous living space with direct access to the backyard. The kitchen centers the main level with an island for casual seating and an easy connection between the surrounding spaces. A few steps up, a second living area makes an immediate impression with hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and an open feel that gives the home added character. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes its own full bathroom, while three additional bedrooms and a common bath complete the level. The basement adds even more flexibility with a den and dedicated laundry area. Outside, a fenced backyard offers a large paver patio and lawn with plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the space. An attached garage and driveway complete the home. Conveniently located near NYC bus transportation, I-78, the Garden State Parkway, and Galloping Hill Golf Course.
