30 Granite Ln, Penns Grove, NJ 08069

Description

Set on a beautifully kept .38-acre lot in Cornerstone Estates, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath colonial pairs generous living space with one of the largest fully fenced yards in the neighborhood.

Tall evergreens and stone-edged garden beds frame the covered front porch. An in-ground irrigation system keeps the front and side lawns green with little effort. Inside, the foyer rises two full stories beneath a crystal chandelier, with a gallery-style landing overlooking it from above. To one side, French doors close off a private study, a quiet place for remote work or homework. The formal dining room has detailed millwork and a statement light fixture, with plenty of room for holiday dinners.

The kitchen is the center of the home. It has granite counters, 42-inch cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, newer stainless appliances and a center island where everyone gathers. The breakfast area leads straight out to the backyard. The kitchen also opens to a spacious family room, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. A mudroom with laundry sits between the garage and kitchen and catches the everyday clutter. A powder room serves guests. Recessed LED lighting runs throughout.

Upstairs, double doors open to a primary suite of about 20 by 17 feet, with windows on three sides, recessed lighting and a ceiling fan. A private dressing hall with two walk-in closets leads to the spa-style bath, which has a corner soaking tub, a glass-enclosed tiled shower and a long vanity. Three more well-sized bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan, share a full hall bath with a tub and shower.

The finished lower level adds living space most homes in this price range don’t have. A media room and a separate game room both have wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring and recessed lighting, and either works as a gym, playroom or guest space. The unfinished section offers a long run of dry storage. It also houses the high-efficiency gas furnace and water heater, a recently replaced exterior A/C condenser, a French drain with sump pump, and the irrigation controls.

Out back, six-foot white vinyl privacy fencing encloses a level, open lawn with room for a pool, a playset, a garden or a weekend game of soccer. Gates on both sides make it easy to bring in mowers and equipment. The two-car garage has smart, Wi-Fi-controlled openers, built-in cabinetry and shelving, attic storage and 200-amp electrical service.

Cornerstone Estates is a quiet, well-kept neighborhood minutes from schools, shopping and dining. Commuters are close to the NJ Turnpike, I-295 and the Delaware Memorial Bridge, so Wilmington, Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore are all easy drives.
