Welcome home to this classic Colonial set on a tree-lined street in a coveted neighborhood close to the heart of Maplewood. An inviting vestibule opens to sun-drenched, beautifully proportioned rooms made for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The spacious living room features richly finished floors, crown moldings and a wood-burning fireplace perfect for cozy evenings, while the formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The kitchen flows into a bright breakfast room filled with personality including wood beams, exposed brick and charming Dutch door. A versatile den offers an ideal spot to work or unwind. Step outside to sip your morning coffee or take in the sunset on the Trex back porch, overlooking the large, fully fenced backyard--a true private retreat. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and two full baths offer comfort and privacy, including a primary suite with its own roomy bath. The walk-up attic, with high ceilings and a dormer already in place, holds exciting potential as a home office, additional bedroom, guest quarters, or media space. The finished basement, currently used as a rec room and workspace, adds even more flexible space, along with a separate laundry room. All of this is just a short stroll to Maplewood's vibrant downtown, with its shops, restaurants, and community spirit, and to the Midtown Direct train to New York City. It's the best of both worlds, suburban serenity and city access, right at your doorstep!
