Welcome to one of Edison's most dynamic and rapidly appreciating pockets a quarter-acre lot, 2,382 square feet of Craftsman-style living, and a seller who is ready to make a deal. With generous living space, a finished basement, and a character-rich interior anchored by hardwood floors and a stunning river rock fireplace, this home delivers substantial square footage and timeless style at a compelling price point. The primary bedroom suite has been freshly upgraded with new paint, new carpet, and a renovated ensuite bath move-in ready comfort where it counts most. And here's the move that changes the conversation: the seller will install central air conditioning on the second floor with an accepted offer delivering true year-round comfort from day one. The finished basement adds flexible living or workspace, while the attached tandem garage accommodates two vehicles with room to spare. Outside, the expansive, tree-lined backyard offers rare outdoor space in a neighborhood where land like this is increasingly hard to find. Six new construction homes on this block are commanding prices north of $1 million a clear signal of where the neighborhood's ceiling is heading. Edison checks every box of a Big 3 community: under an hour to Manhattan, NJ Transit rail access via Metuchen or MetroPark, and consistently top-rated schools. The opportunity is here. The deal is ready to be made.
