22 Cottage Street

This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers thoughtful updates, comfortable living spaces, and a convenient location near major amenities. The main level features a bright living room with a wood-burning stove, along with a dining area and kitchen that create a functional layout for everyday living and entertaining. A door off the kitchen leads to a small laundry area with access to the attached one-car garage, while additional steps lead to a partially finished basement offering flexible space for recreation, hobbies, or storage. Each room includes a ceiling fan to enhance comfort and airflow. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a brand-new HVAC system installed last year with a transferable 10-year parts and labor warranty, a roof less than four years old, and a water heater under three years old. A new AC compressor and condenser further support year-round comfort. The home also features upgraded electrical service with an oversized breaker panel. Outdoor living includes a deck off the dining room built by the seller that leads to a hardscape backyard area and a raised garden bed currently used for vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, and cucumbers. Located one block from Hendricks Field Golf Course, about one mile from Clara Maass Medical Center, and minutes from the Garden State Parkway and Newark Airport, the home also offers walkable access to a grammar school and nearby restaurants, markets, and shopping.
