Set on one of Glen Ridge's most coveted streets, this exceptional home makes an immediate impression with its lush grounds, dramatic slate rooflines, intricate brickwork and romantic architectural details. Grand without feeling imposing, it has been thoughtfully updated for the way we live today while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make it special.

The formal living and dining rooms bring elegance and occasion, while the oversized family room just off the kitchen is the true heart of the home, offering an incredible space for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private en-suite bath and charming sitting room, joined by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The 3rd floor offers a private retreat w/ its own bedroom and full bath. A finished basement adds room for recreation, work or play. Outside, the grounds are beautifully landscaped and the patio creates an idyllic setting for dining al fresco. Just blocks from the Glen Ridge Country Club and steps from Forest Elementary School, among the country's most highly regarded schools. Hop on the jitney to the direct NYC train station or stroll to Upper Montclair for coffee & breakfast in Watchung Plaza. A special home in a prestigious location that rarely becomes available.
