There is a lot to love about this five-BEDROOM Colonial set on a beautiful, convenient block in desirable Glen Ridge! The open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a long prep peninsula, and lots of storage. The Cathedral ceiling in the attached breakfast room overlooking the backyard keeps everything feeling light and bright. Spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and a corner office with a powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs is an IDEAL LAYOUT with four bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, including the primary suite with attached bath. The third floor bedroom is a cozy retreat! The private, tranquil backyard is your own SECRET GARDEN with a deck off the kitchen and a hot tub surrounded by gorgeous gardens with mature plantings. Lots of bonus items too: Central Air, fully lined sewer pipe, finished basement with French drains and sump pump, plus an incredible location with easy access to schools, parks, and New York City direct trains.
