Welcome to this captivating 4-bedroom, 2-full bath Colonial on a leafy side street on the Glen Ridge Border, near Bloomfield Avenue's shops & restaurants, the Garden State Parkway, & less than a mile from 2 train stations! How do we love this home? Let us count the ways. The enclosed three-season porch with newer windows is perfect for relaxing & watching the world go by. Inside, vertical hardwood flooring with ribbon inlay graces the living room & formal dining room. A brick-front wood burning fireplace with matching wall sconces sits center stage in the living room, while 2 wood columns flank the sunny den/playroom off to the side. The updated kitchen, with pantry, mudroom & access to the backyard, features stainless steel appliances, subway tiles, granite counters & recessed lighting. The 2nd floor boasts four roomy bedrooms, with ceiling fans and built-ins, as well as a main bath with quartz custom vanity, subway tiles & a tub/shower. The main bedroom has access to the renovated third floor where you'll find a rec room that could be a fifth bedroom or office, with more built-ins and storage. The finished walk-out basement with new floors has a rec room, a guest bed, a full bath with tub/shower, a laundry nook & utility/work room. A lovely, level backyard with patio & one-car garage rounds out this amazing home. Oh, & did we mention 23 Skiddoo, a beloved restaurant/bakery/coffee cafe, is a block away? One double espresso with a raisin Danish coming up

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
