Set on a beloved block in Maplewood's coveted College Hill neighborhood, this cherished home is coming to market for the first time in over 50 years. Moments from the Village, NYC trains, parks, and schools, it offers the perfect blend of timeless character, modern flow, and community people move here for. Surrounded by lush landscaping, this quintessential Side Hall Colonial feels warm, welcoming, and deeply special from the moment you arrive. Freshly painted inside and out with new light fixtures and hardware throughout, the home is move-in ready while still retaining all the character you crave. Inside, beautiful HW floors with ribbon inlay & thoughtful mid-century wood details create a home that feels both classic and effortlessly cool. The main level offers an airy, connected flow, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms & a sun-drenched hall bath with double vanity, while the third floor offers a charming room with full bath, equally suited as a primary retreat, or guest space. The finished lower level adds flexibility for movie nights, workouts, play and game days. Outside, enjoy the large deck, abundant yard space, a detached two-car garage (future gar bar anyone?), and room to garden, gather, and unwind. On Bowdoin, neighbors become lifelong friends and block parties become core memories. A rare opportunity to own a home that has been genuinely loved, beautifully maintained, and ready for its next chapter.
