Homes like this rarely come up in Westwood. Welcome to 33 Cardinal Lane, a beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a wonderful floorplan and a private backyard oasis. A soaring two-story foyer welcomes you inside. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, with a sunny breakfast area, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and pull-out beverage drawers. It opens to the family room, anchored by a granite fireplace, with sliders to a large deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Off the living room, a home office with French doors offers a quiet place to work, and a first-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience. Front and back staircases lead upstairs to the spacious primary suite with a beautiful en-suite bath, three additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a generously sized fifth bedroom that works equally well as a media room, playroom, or workout studio. Outside, the professionally designed and landscaped yard is made for relaxing and entertaining. A heated pool and hot tub are framed by a sundeck with marble coping, along with a pergola for shade and a playground set. The yard is fully fenced and wonderfully private. Additional highlights include 4-zone heat, 2-zone central air, a whole-house generator (5 years old), a tankless water heater (4 years old), a 2-car garage, attic storage, and a shed. Tucked away in a quiet, private neighborhood, yet just minutes from major roads and highways, downtown Westwood's shops, restaurants, and NJ Transit.
