Property Description

This classic 1910s American Foursquare starts on the deep covered porch under a warm wood-plank ceiling, with room for rocking chairs and neighbors who actually stop to talk. Through the front door you'll find parquet floors, a built-in bench, and stained glass catching the light over the staircase.The craftsmanship is the story. Coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms, fluted columns framing the openings, a working brick fireplace, original oak floors, and another stained glass panel above the dining room windows that would be difficult to replicate today.The sunroom is the room you will fight over. Windows on three sides and sun all day make this the perfect space for morning coffee or the home office you actually want to work in. The eat-in kitchen is recently renovated and is a roomy space for preparing meals, incl quartz counters, subway tile & stainless appliances. For convenience, a full bathroom is tucked in just off the kitchen. The back door opens to the driveway, level yard, and two-car garage. Upstairs you're greeted by four bedrooms, and a second glass wrapped sunroom that works as an intimate, atmospheric sanctuary designed specifically for winding down. The attic houses the fifth bedroom, with ensuite vintage clawfoot tub sits under double windows in the treetops.Here is what makes it all work. Commuters to NYC: there are 2 NJ transit train stations w/in a short walk - direct train to NY Penn in about 35 minutes.
