The Jonas Ball house, also known as the Spring House, is a historic gem nestled in the heart of Maplewood, NJ. This charming four-bedroom, one and half bathroom home, exudes colonial-era character while offering modern comfort, an abundance of light and high ceilings. A welcoming porch with ornate woodwork will greet you and guests. The residence showcases timeless architectural details, such as ornate woodwork on the front porch, exposed original interior wood beams and vintage hardwood floors. A spacious, high-ceiling dining room offers a relaxing space to eat and be social and flows gently into the vaulted-ceiling, sun-drenched kitchen with radiant heated floors. The expansive backyard is a unique retreat: a serene pond, outdoor shower, two driveways, and lush greenery with floral surprises throughout the seasons will allow you to escape from the world around. Nestled in the rear is a two-car garage that can be home to an art studio, gym, play area, or your cars. The yard features both sprawling grass and paved play areas providing boundless opportunity throughout the year. The Spring House provides a perfect blend of history and tranquility and is a rare opportunity to own a sliver of Maplewood's history in the desirable College Hill section. Located a short distance to the train station and conveniently between two parks, two libraries, Maplewood town center and the Springfield Avenue shopping district.
