Property Description

Presence and pedigree define this stately Dutch Colonial Revival, built c. 1920, with its distinctive barn-shaped gambrel roof, large shed dormers, and symmetrical upper windows. Soft sage-green trim in a historically appropriate palette accents the broad covered front porch and second-floor balcony. Inside: gleaming hardwood floors, original wood trim and cornice detailing, pocket doors, and a cozy fireplace. The refinished kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, and a convenient powder room. The upper floors offer seven bedrooms, including rooms currently used as a home office and gym, plus two full bathrooms: one beautifully renovated with a glass-enclosed shower and modern vanity, and another featuring a classic clawfoot tub that preserves the home's historic charm. A full basement includes a washer and dryer, an additional half bathroom, and ample storage. Outside: a beautifully maintained, large fenced yard, private covered back porch, wide driveway, and detached garage. Near Branch Brook Park, with easy access to the Light Rail, Newark Penn Station, Route 280, and Downtown Newark.
