A custom-remodeled home in Scotch Plains, NJ has just hit the market for $968,000, and it’s a perfect fit for someone who is looking to move out of the city but still be close enough to enjoy all of the great things the city has to offer. The 4-bedroom 4.5-bath home at 8 Jacobs Lane in Scotch Plains, NJ is located just 26 miles from Manhattan in one of the most desirable towns in the area.

Even though it’s so close to the center of the action, 8 Jacobs Lane offers plenty of privacy. It is located on an acre of wooded property. See the spec sheet here.

Needle Point Homes, one of NJ’s Premier “Green” Builders, which remodeled the home, uses energy efficient and eco-conscious building techniques.

This home borders Westfield, NJ with an array of stores, restaurants and a movie theater. Downtown Westfield is 10 minutes or less from most places in Scotch Plains.

Scotch Plains in Union County is conveniently located between two train lines into Manhattan and is close to numerous amenities, including the county-owned Ashbrook Country Club and the Private Shackamaxon Country Club.

Scotch Plains hosts two of New Jersey’s most vibrant and most successful Community Centers. The JCC of Central New Jersey and the YMCA of Fanwood-Scotch Plains which offers early child education, infant care as well as summer camps.

See more photos here. Call 908-301-1000 or email needlepointhomes@gmail.com to set up an appointment to see the home.
