About This Home

Move in ready in the heart of Metuchen, 263 Newman St is a fully renovated 1 bedroom, 2 bath condo in a classic Tudor style community, close to the Metuchen train station (direct NJ Transit to NYC) and the YMCA. Every inch of this home has been redone: new hardwood floors throughout, a brand new kitchen with stainless steel Samsung appliances, sleek quartz counters, and a bold wave tile backsplash, plus new windows, doors, LED lighting, and a new forced air heating and cooling system. The main level flows easily from an open living and dining area into the kitchen, while the upper level holds a bright primary bedroom and a fully updated bath with a soaking tub. A dedicated parking spot is included. The finished lower level adds real flexibility: a generously sized room with a walk in closet, a beautifully tiled full bathroom with a glass enclosed shower, and a separate laundry and utility area, ideal as a guest suite, home office, or media room. Located on a quiet street lined with trees in Metuchen's Edgar Middle School and Metuchen High School zone (both rated 8 out of 10), this home offers small town charm with easy access to Routes 27 and 1, Route 287, and NYC transit. With low maintenance living and a turnkey renovation already done, 263 Newman St is a rare combination of location, condition, and value in one of Middlesex County's most connected downtowns.
