Classic character and a fresh, updated feel come together throughout this inviting Colonial in Elizabeth's Elmora Hills section. Arched openings, rich hardwood floors, and a fireplace bring warmth and personality to the main level, where the living room flows into a spacious dining area with plenty of room for gathering and entertaining. Just beyond, the kitchen feels bright and refreshed, with generous workspace and an open connection to the dining area, while a sun-filled bonus space off the living room creates an ideal spot for a home office, reading area, or quiet place to unwind. A half bathroom adds everyday convenience on this level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers its own en suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete the level. The finished basement extends the living space even further with a family room that can easily adapt for movie nights, recreation, a home gym, or additional hangout space, along with a dedicated laundry area. Outside, the open lawn offers a blank canvas to create an outdoor setup that fits your lifestyle, whether that means space to entertain, garden, play, or simply relax beneath the mature trees. A driveway and detached garage provide convenient off-street parking and additional storage. Set in Elmora Hills, the home is conveniently located near Elmora Avenue, local shopping and dining, public transportation, and nearby Warinanco Park, with access to major roadways for travel throughout the area.

Elmora Hills, located between the Garden State Parkway and the Elizabeth River, is a residential and civic-minded Elizabeth neighborhood with leafy side streets and a hilltop street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around North Avenue and Elmora Avenue, where corner bakeries, long-running eateries, and small service storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Early-20th-century colonials and Tudors mix with brick apartment houses, giving blocks a layered, established look. Warinanco Park’s paths and fields shape daily routines with open green space nearby. The Elizabeth Public Library’s Elmora Branch and the historic Union Square corridor add cultural texture beyond the residential lanes.
