Description
Impeccably updated 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath center-hall home on one of Glen Ridge’s most coveted streets, blending timeless architecture with modern living. A Mediterranean-style tile roof and inviting vestibule with stained glass, chestnut detailing, and mosaic flooring set the tone. Inside, a gracious foyer with elevated ceilings and sweeping staircase leads to rich millwork and dark hardwood floors. Formal living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining, while a sunlit solarium with built-ins works perfectly as a home office or retreat. The reimagined kitchen features quartz counters, custom white cabinetry, dual gas/electric ovens, and premium Samsung appliances. A nearby porch extends the living space, plus a stylish powder room. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa bath with radiant heated floors, soaking tub, and oversized shower. Generous second floor bedrooms include a private two-bedroom wing with full bath. The third floor adds a 5th bedroom, full bath, and spacious landing. The finished lower level includes radiant heat, laundry, cedar storage, a full bath, and ample storage. Outdoors, a fenced garden with bluestone patio and mature hydrangeas creates a peaceful retreat. Recent upgrades include a new furnace and hot water heater, whole house water softener, drinking water filtration system, plus a detached garage converted into a private gym with sauna.
