The week’s top sale was also its newest home: a Colonial built in 2014 on two acres in East Brunswick, which sold for $1.97 million. At 5,366 square feet, it is the largest of the five homes, on the largest lot, and it has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, four full and one half bath.

The primary bedroom and three more bedrooms are on the upper level. The lower level has its own bedroom, a study, a family room and a living room, a multipurpose room suited to a guest room or a home gym, and a sunroom. Below that, a partly finished basement includes a recreation room, and the listing suggests it could serve as a dance studio. The home also has cathedral ceilings and two fireplaces.
Outside, the driveway has been widened and edged in decorative brickwork, brick walkways run along both sides of the home, and there is a spacious patio. The home has a three-car attached garage.

A two-story foyer with two coat closets opens to a formal living room and a formal dining room with a buffet counter, and the family room has a gas fireplace.

No. 4 — $1,250,000 · 176 Old Forge Rd, Monroe Township, New Jersey
This Monroe Township ranch is as much a work site as a home. Along with the residence, its 1.84 acres include a detached garage that measures 42 by 72 feet, and the listing pitched the property as a live-work place for a landscaper, contractor or tradesperson who needs room for equipment, vehicles and a shop.
Built in 1977, it is the oldest of the five homes, and at 2,200 square feet on a single floor it is also the smallest. It has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath, an eat-in kitchen, and updated bathrooms and flooring. Sliding glass doors open to a rear deck that looks out over the land, and a finished basement adds a recreation room and laundry. The property last sold for $515,000 in 2018.
The home sold at its full asking price of $1.25 million. JOHN PROFACI of MID-STATE REALTY was the listing agent.

Its backyard is ringed by woods, and a large deck looks out over it. Indoors, a two-story foyer finished in ceramic tile leads to a bright living room, and the family room also rises two stories, with a wall of windows and sliding glass doors out to that deck. The kitchen has a center island and opens to the main living areas, and there is a formal dining room.
The primary suite is on the first floor, with a bath that has a Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower, and the laundry room and a powder room are on that level as well.
