Classic split-level with 3 bedrooms on a large lot on a premier tree-lined Westwood block - an excellent house, and with the right TLC it can be made into the perfect home. A sunny living room welcomes you with hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace and a picture window. The dining room opens through sliders to a wood deck overlooking the fenced backyard - made for summer barbecues and quiet mornings - and the eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinetry, a gas range, stainless refrigerator and dishwasher. Three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full hall bath complete the upper level. The primary bedroom has a half bath and large adjoining closet, with potential for a full en suite. The den half bath, a few steps off the kitchen, sits beside open space and could easily become a full bath. The finished lower level offers a wood-paneled family room, a large rec room for a playroom, gym or office, a washer/dryer laundry area and a very large storage and utility room, with direct access to the backyard. Central-air ductwork is in place; the compressor needs replacing. The fenced yard with mature trees has plenty of room to play, garden or entertain, and includes a generator. An attached garage and double-wide driveway make parking easy. A quarter mile to the NYC bus and about a mile to downtown Westwood's shops, dining and NJ Transit train. Close to parks and schools. Bring your ideas and make this excellent house your perfect home. Welcome home.
