About this home
Set on a highly desirable tree-lined street, convenient to NYC trains, vibrant Walnut St & Watchung Plaza, this architectural gem seamlessly blends a romantic Tudor Revival exterior w/the openness of a Center Hall Colonial. Stepping through the timeless oak front door you'll see why this home is perfect for entertaining & relaxing. The front-to-back living room features a WBFP & leads to an adjoining sunroom/office. The spacious dining room is accented by original molding & ideal for festive gatherings. The main level continues w/a show-stopping renovated EIK connecting to a stunning great room. This is a chef's dream kitchen - custom solid cherry-wood cabinets, period-accurate restoration glass, high-end appliances, tons of counter space & storage. The sun-soaked great room w/soaring ceiling & WBFP is the ultimate gathering spot. Its French doors lead to a storybook oasis w/expansive bluestone patios, meandering stone paths & perennial gardens. The stream-fed koi pond, cascading waterfalls & large, flat yard make for ideal entertaining/recreation. Back inside, the 2nd flr has 4 BRs, full bath and includes a lovely primary suite w/3 closets & renovated en-suite bath. 3rd flr has 2 BRs & full bath w/charming claw-foot tub.
