About this home
Charming Side Hall Colonial located on one of the Tuscan Section favorite avenues. From the moment you step onto the deep, welcoming front porch overlooking a picturesque tree-lined street, this enchanting home embraces you with warmth, creativity, and timeless character. It balances vintage architectural detail with an easy, cohesive flow designed for modern everyday living. Inside, the light-filled main level features a spacious living room which transitions seamlessly into an formal dining room with classic cove ceilings setting a memorable backdrop for lively dinner parties and intimate gatherings alike. Just steps away, the warm eat-in kitchen serves as the vibrant heart of the home, framed by views of your own private botanical retreat. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer restful escapes. The third floor expansive attic with high ceilings has terrific potential for additional living space. The lush, mature perennial gardens provide continuous seasonal color, quiet morning coffee spots, and inspiring outdoor entertaining spaces. Unbeatable location: just moments to Maplewood Village's artisan dining, indie shops, Memorial Park, the public library, and the Midtown Direct train with a fast commute into NYC. A rare, soulful Maplewood gem where character, garden beauty, and village convenience meet.
