Beautifully updated 4 bedroom, 2 full, 2 half bath Colonial blending classic Maplewood character with thoughtful modern updates. Filled with natural light, this move in ready home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm, including chestnut trim, hardwood floors with inlay detail, and other timeless architectural features. The first floor offers spacious living and dining rooms, the signature Maplewood room ideal as a home office, den, or playroom, a renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar, plus a powder room. The finished lower level provides flexible living space for a recreation room, media room, or play area, along with a pantry, laundry area, and second powder room. Three bedrooms and an updated hall bath are located on the second floor, while the third floor features a fourth bedroom and full bath, offering excellent flexibility for guests, a private office, or a potential primary suite. Many recent improvements, including central air conditioning installation, new gas boiler, hot water heater, and 1st and 2nd floor wall insulation, provide added comfort and efficiency. Outside, enjoy a large deck overlooking the lush landscaped backyard with mature plantings and a 2 car garage. Ideally located just moments from Maplewood Village, the Midtown Direct train, parks, schools, and local shops and restaurants.
College Hill, located between South Orange Avenue and I-78, is a residential and hillside Vauxhall neighborhood with leafy side streets and a commuter-leaning layout. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the South Orange Avenue corridor near Vauxhall Road, where corner storefronts, takeout counters, and everyday services set a steady street rhythm. Housing reads as mid-century splits and capes mixed with older colonials, with driveways and small front lawns shaping the streetscape. Seton Hall University and its Walsh Library lend a collegiate edge just up the road. For culture, the South Orange Performing Arts Center and the Baird Community Center anchor nearby calendars. Branch Brook Park’s paths and cherry trees add a big-landscape counterpoint to the compact blocks.
