About This Home

As of November 2024

Sophisticated & Stunning Wrapped in Warmth! This Delightful Custom Home in sought after Christianstead presents a rare opportunity to have a splendidly updated home that is also wonderfully warm and inviting! Perched up on a prized cul-de-sac lot, featuring a lush lawn and lovely terraced landscaping, picturesque is a word that comes to mind! With an envelope of trees and greenery, the backyard offers natural seclusion and plenty of space for entertaining on the multilevel deck! The interior is most certainly a crowd pleaser! You'll immediately notice the stunning flooring, almost all replaced by the current owners - gorgeous hardwoods, tile and laminates. The grand foyer welcomes you with a sparkling chandelier, a turned staircase with custom boxed wainscoting, and hardwood floors! A spacious dining room and a recently carpeted living room flank the entry. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream! Boasting a Dacor gas range that actually vents to the outside, a vast array of cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, an impressive 8' butcher block island, this kitchen just begs for adoration! The main floor laundry room is as cute as it is practically placed! The main gathering room in the center of the main level is highlighted by a soaring and stately stone fireplace. This, combined with the way the staircase wraps around it, feels like a warm hug architecturally! Beyond that, there is an office, currently used as a playroom, and a nicely tucked away powder room! The upper level presents good vibes too! The primary suite is idyllic! From the sheer size to the additional sitting area, to the two walk-in closets, to the 4 piece bath, it is simply sure to satisfy your suite desires! One bedroom could be a brilliant nursery next to the primary suite! The other bedrooms are ample and offer seclusion from the other bedrooms, featuring the hall bath between them. The lower level houses a large romper room that exudes fun and amusement! There is also an exercise room and a huge storage area for additional benefits! 5 mile radius of Newark Charter School. Once you walk into 78 Hidden Valley, you won't want to walk out! Make this sensational stunner yours today!
