Finally, a house that understands the assignment! This 5-bed, 3.1 bath Colonial has the space, flow, and common sense layout you’ve been waiting for – because nobody wants “charming” to mean tiny closets and one outlet per room. Formal living and dining rooms bring the classic vibe, while the first-floor office/sunroom gives you options: work-from-home, homework zone, or a place to hide for 20 minutes and pretend you’re on an important call. The kitchen opens onto a huge family room with soaring 20-foot ceilings, skylights bring tons of natural light, and enough room for movie nights, holidays, or everyone being together while doing completely different things. You know, real life. Upstairs, the primary suite is the reward for making it through the day, with a walk-in closet and a spacious bath featuring soaking tub, stall shower, and vanity for two. Two more generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Up on the third, two more beds and a full bath. Basement rec room is perfect as a cool hangout, media room, or the grown-up version of a place where no one touches your stuff. And bonus: already plumbed for a future bathroom. The location is a total wow – just a 12-minute stroll to Upper Montclair for restaurants, coffee shops, and schmying. Close to Yantacaw Brook, Brookdale, and Tuers Parks. Easy NYC transportation when duty calls, suburban peace, when it doesn’t.
