Porch mornings, dinner parties, and quiet evenings by the pond. This expanded mid-century split-level brings timeless warmth and surprising space to a quiet Scotch Plains street, just down the block from the elementary and high schools. A covered flagstone porch invites morning coffee and conversation. Inside, refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint set a bright tone. The living room's wood-burning brick fireplace and picture window offer classic charm, while the expanded 21-foot dining area welcomes memorable gatherings with room to make it your own and a large bay window framing panoramic backyard views. Beyond the glass, a park-like backyard unfolds around a serene pond and soothing waterfall, with acres of town-owned green space providing a leafy backdrop and welcome privacy. An oversized detached two-car garage with electricity leaves room for tools, hobbies, and weekend projects. Back inside, the spacious ground-floor family room offers room to spread out, a generous office alcove with built-in shelving, a powder room, and a mudroom leading to the yard and driveway. Three upstairs bedrooms include a primary with two closets, complemented by a full hall bath. An unfinished basement offers storage, space for a workshop, and future finishing potential. From gathering around the table to strolling down the block for school events and games, this is a home with room for the moments that matter.
