Built in 1898, this remarkable home is filled with sweet details rarely found today. A wonderful wraparound front porch welcomes you into gracious interiors with beautiful original woodwork, leaded-glass windows, pocket doors, and timeless architectural craftsmanship throughout. Generous first-floor living and entertaining spaces flow into an updated kitchen with a modernized half-bath. A spacious second floor features four bedrooms, one with an adjoining enclosed ‘sleeping porch,’ and a large full hall bath. The third floor has a lovely bedroom escape, additional bonus/office space, and another full bath, creating the potential for a large primary suite or work-from-home oasis. This very well maintained and updated home has plenty of additional storage areas on the third floor and basement as well as a lush and private backyard space. It’s ideally located with convenient access to Maplewood Village, restaurants, shops, parks and NYC transportation."
