37 Gaston Ave, Raritan, NJ 08869

Large and well-appointed turn-of-the-century home in downtown Raritan. Located on a quiet one-way street within a short walk to the NJT rail station and downtown amenities. Raritan canal path access is at the bottom of the street with walking & bike access to the towpath, Duke Island Park, & Duke Farms with a connection to the Peter's Brook Greenway and Somerville. Cook's kitchen includes GE cafe appliances with an induction range. A beautiful first-floor office with lots of natural light makes working from home a pleasure. High ceilings and original architectural details charm on the first floor, along with a full bath. The second floor has three bedrooms, the master having an ensuite master bath, and an enormous walk-in closet. A finished walk-up attic adds a large 4th bedroom with ample closet and storage space. The deep double lot is fully fenced with an enclosed separate garden behind the garage. Plenty of off-street parking with a detached single garage (only suitable for storage). Home includes a rooftop 6kw solar system (owned, not leased) that's grid-tied and provides a significant portion of the home's energy, surplus production is fed back into the grid and provides a credit on the monthly electric bill. Highly efficient heating and cooling systems with a recent gas boiler (Weil-McLain 2022), 24k BTU mini-split AC/Heat Pump on the first floor, replacement windows throughout, and 4" of R30 spray foam insulation on the roof keeps energy costs at a minimum. This is a large charming home in a great town and part of the fantastic Bridgewater-Raritan school district. There's no finer place to raise a family.
