452 Elmwood Ave, Maplewood Twp., NJ 07040-1725

This freshly painted side hall colonial is conveniently located less than a mile from the shops of downtown Maplewood and train to NYC and has a jitney stop at the corner! Once, inside, you'll be delighted by the beautiful light that floods this south facing home. From the newer hardwood floors to the original built-ins, the first floor feels updated and charming! The spacious living room with wood burning fireplace is a great space for conversation and is adjacent to a cozy den/Maplewood room - perfect as a tv room or light-filled office. The kitchen, redone in 2014, checks a lot of boxes with ample storage and a window overlooking the expansive, flat backyard. The adjoining dining room can easily accommodate family and friends for holidays and features additional built-ins and access via French doors to the lovely screened porch and deck (with gas hookup for grilling). Not to be overlooked is the newly rebuilt and electrified 2-car garage. The second floor boasts recently refinished hardwood floors and more beautiful light! The large hall bath features original tile and offers so much space for your morning routine. You'll find three bedrooms plus a bonus room with triple exposure and potential as a home office, workout space or more! A full, walk-up attic with plenty of head height offers the option for additional usable space. The finished (and waterproofed!) basement and powder room provides the perfect amount of additional space for recreation and relaxation.
