34 West Dr , Livingston Twp., Essex 07039-3514

Some streets in Livingston, you drive through. West Drive is one you wait for. Tucked along a quiet street shaded by mature oaks, this is one of those blocks you only find by knowing someone on it. The home was GUT-RENOVATED and EXPANDED in 2007, and lives the way today’s buyers want, with the kind of OPEN FLOW that makes everyday life easy. Over 3,500 square feet on a flat third-acre lot, FOUR BEDROOMS and TWO AND A HALF BATHS, with a true COLONIAL layout. The kitchen anchors the main floor: a LARGE CENTER ISLAND with seating for four, CUSTOM CABINETRY, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, including a DOUBLE OVEN and five-burner range, and a clear line of sight to the family room. The large dining room flows into a living room with a vaulted cathedral ceiling, perfect for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. A HOME OFFICE, GENEROUS MUDROOM, and LAUNDRY off the ATTACHED TWO-CAR GARAGE complete the main level. Upstairs, four bedrooms include an EXPANSIVE PRIMARY SUITE with HIGH CEILINGS, a SITTING AREA, two WALK-IN CLOSETS, and an EN SUITE BATH with a spa-style shower and separate water closet. Three additional bedrooms share a RENOVATED HALL BATH. A large unfinished basement offers room to grow, store, or finish to taste. Outside, the FLAT BACKYARD and patio are sized for weekend games, summer dinners, and everything in between. Close to schools, shopping, and major highways, but quiet enough to feel a world away.
