Serene – that’s how this meticulously updated, center hall colonial classic will make you feel. The generous but inviting scale of the rooms and abundant natural light are what you’ll notice first. Gorgeous original molding, leaded glass details, glowing hardwoods give the space depth and character. The flow is easy on the first floor. The Living Room is spacious, with woodburning fireplace and double French doors to the Sunroom. The large Dining Room will hold your most festive gatherings. The chef’s Kitchen, with honed granite counters, custom Parsons cabinetry, top of the line stainless steel appliances (Wolf, SubZero, Bosch), custom island and sunlit breakfast area is the heart of the home. The floor through center hall, with Mud and Powder Rooms, leads out to the multi-level deck and deep property (over 1/3 of an acre). Upstairs, the well-appointed Primary Suite, with en suite Full Bath, custom organized closets and window-lined Office, is your private retreat. Two more large Bedrooms and updated Full Bath finish off the 2d floor. The landings at each level are deep with built-ins and large windows. The third floor is wide and welcoming with two more Bedrooms, Full Bath, walk-in closets and additional nook. The Basement has high ceilings, large open spaces, and lots of light – currently used as an art studio and workshop, and easily further finished. And then there’s the location – Watchung Plz shops, restaurants, the best indie bookstore and NYC train around the corner!
