About This Home

As of July 2017

Picture perfect four bedroom, one and a half bathroom Cape Cod on one of Cedar Grove's most desirable streets. The charm of this striking home exudes even before you enter through the Dutch door. The kitchen with breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops leads out to the oversized deck. Overlooking the backyard and the woods of the Cedar Grove Reservoir and Lenape Trail, this tranquil location is ideal. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and six steps up leads you to a private bedroom, currently used as a playroom. Up the main stairs is a full bathroom and three bedrooms. The master has a walk-in closet and charming window seat with views of the back yard. The basement is partially finished and although not currently used, could be a great family room with high ceilings.
