About this home
Mornings are the best part of the day in this Cranbury ranch home. The house backs to farmland facing the sunrise, and the Trex deck puts you right in front of the view, with first light coming up over open fields. An additional patio gives you more room for evenings outside, and a shed in the backyard adds storage for outdoor equipment. The fields give the half-acre lot a sense of space and quiet that feels rural in a way most properties here don't. The home has been meticulously kept, and it shows. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet, a detail that gives the room real character and a home for the dishes that come out on holidays. A separate living room and a family room with a fireplace give you two places to gather: one for company, one for winter nights. The kitchen offers a separate eating area and views of farmland making doing the dishes seem like less of a chore. All three bedrooms and both full baths are on one level, including a primary bedroom with its own bath and a recently updated stall shower. The laundry room is on the main floor too, so daily routines never involve stairs. That convenience matters now and matters more as the years go on. The large laundry room finish the first floor. There is room to grow on two levels. The full unfinished basement has a walkout to the backyard, so it works as storage now or as finished space later with outdoor access already in place. The large attic offers more storage and may lend itself to finishing as well. A spacious two-car garage completes the picture. Homes bordered by preserved land don't come up often in Cranbury. This one is worth seeing in person.
