67 Midland Blvd, Maplewood Twp., Essex 07040-1807

Step off the direct NYC jitney one block away into a life that feels like a deep exhale. A Dutch Colonial on one of Maplewood’s most coveted streets, impeccably maintained by its current owner, is a whole lifestyle upgrade. Enjoy timeless architectural charm and premium modern living. Sunlight pours through the all-season sun porch whilst stunning hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and a dramatic framed entryway create warmth and sophistication throughout. Newly installed windows add a contemporary touch, while a fully insulated attic and upgraded mechanical systems provide outstanding comfort and efficiency. The flow is effortless: stone-and-stainless kitchen to butler’s pantry to a formal dining room that frames your backyard like a painting. When the weather calls, step straight from the kitchen onto the back deck, everything you need for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining, right at your fingertips. A beautiful composite deck made for long dinners and summer evenings you don’t want to end. Three generous bedrooms with plenty of natural light and a full bath and cedar storage closet. Downstairs: a finished basement that moonlights as a wet bar with marble counter and entertainment lounge with a full recently renovated bath and plenty of room for a home office, playspace or game room. The laundry? Cleverly concealed beneath the marble benchtop of the wet bar because in a home this well thought-out, even the practical is stylish.
