    What's special

    Positioned on nearly a half-acre in the heart of West Caldwell, this Colonial-style home stands out with its spacious layout, inviting front porch, and oversized two-car barn-style garage. The first floor opens into welcoming main-level living spaces, including a spacious living room and an expansive dining room with recessed lighting and a natural flow between the two areas. Filled with natural light, the eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and direct access to the backyard. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom offer flexible use for guests or a home office, while a separate laundry area adds everyday convenience. The second level offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generously sized primary suite with a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The lower level provides substantial storage and utility space, offering flexibility and future potential. With some updating, this home offers the opportunity to reintroduce its character and elevate its full potential. Beyond the home, the property extends to a wooded backdrop that enhances privacy and is complemented by a rear porch. Conveniently located near West Caldwell's town center, parks, dining, and commuter routes, this home presents an opportunity to enjoy space, character, and potential within a desirable Essex County community. Central a/c is only on first floor.
