About This Home
Updated and upgraded! This charming colonial is much larger than it appears! Located just steps from Hillside Avenue School & a short walk to award-winning downtown Cranford, this is an unbeatable location. Enter into the enclosed front porch, providing the perfect mudroom or space for additional storage. Inside, a warm foyer welcomes you with original millwork and classic staircase, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The formal living room provides generous entertaining space and flows into a bonus office/den space just off the main floorplan, providing the perfect homework or work from home setup. Just beyond, the formal dining area opens into brand new kitchen with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and numerous windows providing natural light and views of the yard. Upstairs, there are 3 sizeable bedrooms and the brand new full bath. A walk-up, finished attic provides the 4th and final bedroom. The basement provides a laundry area, a second brand new full bathroom, and plenty of storage space. The backyard provides green space and an exceptional, expanded blacktop driveway with parking with 4 cars (fully fenced and gated, as well). Move right in!
