A Maplewood Original, Beautifully Reimagined – – Built in 1923 and transformed by a stunning 3-story addition and renovation in 2006-7, this exceptional Colonial on one of Maplewood’s most warm and welcoming streets, Richmond Ave, is special. The deep teal exterior, warm wood front door, and fresh paver walkway set the tone, but it’s the grounds that stop you in your tracks. Lovingly curated by passionate gardening enthusiasts, the property unfolds like a secret garden: a canopied mulch path winds alongside the house past a myriad of colorful plantings. The wraparound deck, perched above it all, is a dream private, leafy, and magical. Inside, hardwood floors, recessed lighting and new windows throughout anchor a seamless flow across the first floor. The airy layout impresses, beginning with the foyer and easily transitioning to the living rm, anchored by the brick fireplace with wood-burning stove insert, then the dining rm, informal living rm and then the spectacular kitchen, featuring a chef’s grade 36″ BlueStar range. Step onto the deck from the dining room or back of kitchen, blurring inside and out beautifully. The primary suite stuns: vaulted ceilings, transom and oversized windows overlooking the garden, 2 large closets, dressing room, and spa bath with double sinks and glass-enclosed shower. 3 more bds and full bath on 2nd fl, powder room on 1st. Finished bsmnt with bonus rm, full ba, wet bar, laundry, utilities and storage. 2 zone CAC. 2 car garage. Welcome Home!
