Immaculate house with views of NYC was a hit with homebuyers. Here’s how much it sold for.

This is the type of seller you want to buy a house from.

A split-level home in Kinnelon was so well-kept it received more than a dozen offers and sold for $139,000, or 18%, more than its asking price.

The four-bedroom, two full- and one-half bathroom home on a half acre was listed for $769,000 on March 26.

The median sales price of a home in Kinnelon was $857,500 in March, according to New Jersey Realtors.

“When I went to meet with the homeowners about listing the house, I could’ve started showing it that day,” said Walter “Matt” Weiss of Keller Williams Prosperity Realty. “It looked staged, but it wasn’t. Everything was perfect. That’s just how they kept it.”

The home, built in 1969, is perched on a hill with a view of the New York City skyline. It’s located in a neighborhood where the homes have public sewer, which is unusual for the town.

“It’s the only section in town that has public sewers, so that was definitely a bonus,” he said. “The rest of Kinnelon has septic.”

The seller converted a three-seasons room off the back of the house into a year-round family room, which was well-liked by people who toured the home, Weiss said. It has skylights, ceiling fans and a wall of windows overlooking the backyard.

It also has a living room with a beamed ceiling and a fireplace, a sunken dining room and a family room. And the bathrooms and kitchen were updated.

“All of the flooring was redone and matched throughout the house,” Weiss said. “Sometimes you show homes that have different flooring throughout. This house was immaculate.”

Showings began on a Friday, there were 39, and a one-day open house that Sunday drew 43 groups. By Monday, there were multiple offers. A total of 15 offers were submitted by the Tuesday deadline.

“I had a good feeling, just based on some of the comparables, that it could’ve gone around the mid-$800,000s,” he said. “It went higher than I thought it would for sure.”

The home closed May 6 for $908,000.

Low inventory, that the home was priced in-line with comparables and the condition of the home helped it sell for so much more than its asking price, Weiss said.

“The buyer could move in and just start living life. They don’t really need to do anything,” he said.
