This Tudor with a dramatic Vermont Slate roof, woodburning fireplace, original hardwood wood floors with inlay, 4 bedrooms, nursery, three bathrooms, a huge basement play space and large, yard, screened porch and detached garage will make you feel at home. Welcome to the nationally registered historic district--Forest Hills-- oasis in the North Ward and locations of mansions of heirs to Tiffany stained glass, thread-manufacturing Clarks and beer-breweing Ballantines--in the well-located city of Newark, a mere twenty minutes to NYC via public transport and right next door to Montclair. Located one block from Branch Brook park, designed by Frederick Olmstead (who created Central Park in the same style, but BB also has an internationally renowned cherry blossom festival), this stately, custom-built home can provide you the joys of living on a mini garden estate, complete with slate walkways and benches, roses, lilacs, iris, day lilies, hastas, elms, a giant pine and a cherry tree. Forest Hills features elaborate historic homes with large yards, streets lined with hundred year-old trees and a park loaded with Cherry blossoms. It is one of the few integrated neighborhoods in Newark, or New Jersey. A wonderful neighborhood association holds a dinner and dance party each year. Parking is simple for those who drive, and for the carless, a commute to downtown Newark or New York is a breeze. I can buy exotic and fresh grocery items that I could never find in stores in New York city at much more affordable prices. Our neighborhood is ten minutes from Montclair's restaurants, shops, yoga classes, but our real estate taxes are a fraction of theirs.
