Classic architectural character defines this stately Dutch Colonial Revival, built circa 1920, with its distinctive gambrel roof, large shed dormers, and symmetrical upper windows. Soft sage green trim accents the broad covered front porch and second-floor balcony. Inside: gleaming hardwood floors, original wood trim and cornice detailing, pocket doors, and a cozy fireplace. The refinished kitchen features stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a farmhouse sink. The home offers 7 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, including a renovated hall bath with rain shower and modern vanity, plus another bath with original clawfoot tub. The finished basement includes a washer and dryer. All appliances are included. Outside: a large fenced yard, private back porch, wide driveway, detached 1-car garage, and 5,000-square-foot lot. Two blocks from Branch Brook Park and its tennis courts, with easy access to Light Rail, Newark Penn Station, Route 280, Downtown Newark, Montclair, houses of worship, and NYC bus service.
