Property Description

Beyond the familiar, 78 Lawrence Avenue offers a refreshingly distinctive take on Highland Park living. Set along a quiet, tree-lined street on the North Side, this renovated colonial brings together thoughtful updates, flexible spaces, and an outdoor setting that feels worlds away. Inside, engineered hardwood floors and all-new windows create a bright, polished backdrop. The brand-new, state of the art kitchen connects naturally to a family room/den, giving everyday meals and relaxed gatherings an easy rhythm. A snug nook at the top of the stairs adds character and could become a reading corner or compact workspace. Two spacious bedrooms occupy the second floor, including one with a custom walk-in closet. The third bedroom is located in the basement and features walkout access to the rear of the property. One full and one half bath complete the layout, while new central heating and air conditioning support comfort through every season. Outdoors, the property truly breaks from the ordinary. Multiple levels create a series of inviting places to lounge, dine, garden, or entertain, with an open deck, a covered deck and patio extending the living space into the surrounding greenery. Hang out and relax with the included fire pit and even an outdoor TV (negotiable). The detached garage, accessed from Montgomery Street (just go down the steps in the back), offers possibilities beyond parking: use it as a private retreat, artist's studio, workshop, or traditional car storage. Daily essentials and recreation remain conveniently accessible in addition to Downtown Highland Park, New Brunswick and all it has to offer, Rutgers University, and 2 major hospitals. For buyers tired of predictable layouts and cookie-cutter spaces, this one-of-a-kind home rewards a closer look.
