This super cute, move-in-ready home has all the privacy and charm of a single family home while having the space and modern convenience of a classic townhome without the HOA! It features many flexible rooms, brand new ultra high efficiency windows throughout, and a new Trane split ductless AC system. The open concept first floor has a beautifully updated Kitchen, Dining area, and Living Room that artfully blends period details with a modern aesthetic. An inviting entryway and separate First Floor Bedroom with access to the backyard complete this floor. The second floor has an updated full bathroom and two sizable bedrooms with another bonus room that could be used as a nursery space, small bedroom, or office. The finished attic, currently accessed by ceiling portal, is a blank canvas that can potentially be converted into livable space. The basement features laundry, great storage space, a newly renovated half bathroom, and another bonus room, perfect for home gym, with walkout stairs to the backyard. The lovely outdoor space includes a surprisingly big, fully fenced in yard, patio, and newly installed driveway with Belgian block. Amazing location that is close to both Maplewood and South Orange downtowns and trains, schools, parks, and all the new shops and restaurants on Valley St!
