Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac at the desirable intersection of Oak Tree Road and Wood Avenue, 3 Charles Ct is an East-facing split-level home offering 2,546 square feet of living space in one of Edison's most sought-after pockets. With no through traffic, the cul-de-sac setting is ideal for families, and the home sits within the highly regarded North Edison school district. A two-story ceramic-tiled entry foyer welcomes you inside, where two-zone heat and central air keep every level comfortable year-round. The eat-in kitchen has been freshly painted in a stylish two-tone finish and comes with brand-new appliances — two refrigerators and an over-the-range microwave, all less than a year old, plus a washer purchased Sept 2026. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors throughout the main living and dining areas round out a layout built for both daily life and entertaining. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including two master suites — rare and valuable flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or a home office setup. A finished basement adds a second family room plus a finished utility room, and the upper level includes a spa-style bath with a jacuzzi tub and skylights. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, a rear patio with a built-in BBQ, and a fully fenced yard on a 7,471-square-foot lot, all under a durable timberline roof. A standout feature: the home comes with a prepaid solar lease, meaning the new owner can enjoy virtually no electric bills for the next 10 years. A one-car attached garage completes the package. Location is everything here: walk to Oak Tree Road shopping and dining, and to the Metro Park train station for an easy commute to NYC and beyond, with public bus lines nearby too. A quiet, kid-friendly cul-de-sac in a top school district, close to everything — this one is hard to beat. 5 bed | 3.5 bath (2 master suites) | 2,546 sqft | East-facing split home, built 1968 | Cul-de-sac at Oak Tree Rd & Wood Ave | Prepaid solar lease | 1-car attached garage | Edison, NJ 08820
Downtown, located between Metropark Station and Oak Tree Road, is a transit-oriented and commercial Iselin neighborhood with a rail hub and a dense strip of global dining. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Oak Tree Road at Wood Avenue, where sari boutiques, jewelers, sweet shops, and late-night eateries keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include the Thomas A. Edison Memorial Tower and Museum, the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center, and the PNC Bank Arts Center nearby for big-ticket shows. Low-rise storefronts and mid-century office blocks define the streetscape, with newer hotels and apartments adding height near the tracks. Green breaks come via Merrill Park and the Rahway River corridor, while NJ Transit and the Garden State Parkway shape daily movement.
