Property Description

Welcome to your own hidden sanctuary. Nestled quietly away from the street in Glen Ridge, this enchanting French country cottage is an oasis of tranquility that feels worlds apart yet sits just blocks from everything you need. The magic begins at arrival, where a beautifully landscaped front yard leads to an elegant arched front door. Inside, a freshly repainted interior serves as a bright, sophisticated canvas for timeless architectural details. Unwind by the wood-burning fireplace in the living room, or retreat to the sunroom, a serene space featuring a second fireplace and marble flooring. The kitchen is well-appointed with a center island, granite counters, a Viking stove, and a sun-soaked breakfast room perfect for overlooking the patio and pool. Upstairs, the second floor hosts three bedrooms and two full baths, while the private third floor, with its own bedroom and bath, is an ideal space for guests or a quiet home office. Outside, the private backyard is a beautiful extension of the home. Enclosed by a tall fence and mature plantings, this quiet retreat features a heated pool. Combining modern peace of mind with storybook charm, this property is perfectly located near Linden Ave School, the local Jitney, and the Midtown Direct train to NYC. This is true Glen Ridge charm, designed for a lifetime of memories.
