Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Maplewood's enviable College Hill neighborhood, this house has the easy warmth and enduring character of a place made for settling in. Thoughtfully updated, while retaining its original character, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home feels gracious without being too formal and polished without losing its charm. Gleaming hardwood floors, abundant natural light and period details make it especially inviting. The first floor flows from a spacious living room with a stone gas fireplace to a peaceful sunroom, inviting dining room, and refreshed kitchen with open sightlines and cheerful breakfast-bar seating. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a renovated hall bath with a double vanity. The private third-floor suite feels like a retreat, with a marble bath, radiant heat, walk-in closet and room to serve as a primary bedroom, guest suite or tucked-away office. The finished lower level adds flexible space for play, work or exercise, plus laundry and storage. Outside, the level, fully- fenced yard and stone patio create an ideal setting for playtime, pets, and relaxing evenings outdoors. A detached two-car garage provides storage, while thoughtful updates to the home's systems bring everyday comfort and peace of mind. Just 500 feet from the Maplewood Jitney, close to Maplecrest Park and the library, and less than a mile from Memorial Park, the Village, and the NJ Transit metro station, this is a house with heart, ready to feel like home.
