Set on approximately .46 acres and offering approximately 5,000 square feet of living space, including the finished lower level, this home has been extensively enhanced over the past two years. Highlights include a spectacular chef’s kitchen, richly detailed living and entertaining spaces, a luxurious primary suite, finished lower level, and two-car attached garage.

The outdoor setting is equally impressive. Extensive improvements have transformed the property into an exceptional private retreat with a fully renovated heated gunite saltwater pool, new stone and porcelain patios, expansive usable lawn, extensive landscaping, privacy screening, new fencing, and a gated Belgian-block-lined driveway.

We are genuinely excited to share this special home and would love the opportunity to welcome you through. With its distinctive architecture, beautifully considered interiors, exceptional outdoor living and close proximity to Forest Avenue School, NYC transportation, Glen Ridge Country Club and Brookdale Park, 495 Ridgewood offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking the complete Glen Ridge lifestyle.
