Welcome to this beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath Cape Cod, completely renovated down to the studs in 2025. Perched above Lake Musconetcong, this home blends timeless charm with modern comfort and offers lovely seasonal lake views. Relax on the inviting covered front porch and enjoy summer breezes off the lake. Inside, the living room features a cozy gas fireplace, and a charming nook with built-in shelves ideal for a home office, reading area, or creative space. The light-filled dining room overlooks the lake, and the brand-new kitchen boasts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and lovely cabinetry. A powder room with laundry is conveniently located just off the kitchen. The spacious first-floor primary bedroom includes a private en-suite bath with a custom tiled shower. Upstairs offers two bedrooms with new plush carpeting, a fully renovated bath and a bonus nook in one bedroom for additional play space. Imagine the possibilities in your own backyard oasis whether it's cultivating an English-style garden bursting with color and charm, creating a fun-filled play area, or planting a bountiful vegetable garden. This outdoor space is a blank canvas, ready for your vision. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, or trim/remove for year-round lake views. Additional highlights include new central air, natural gas, paver walkways and vinyl fencing. Move-in ready, thoughtfully redesigned, and conveniently located near Routes 80 & 46.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
