Step off the direct NYC jitney one block away and into a life that feels like a deep exhale. This Dutch Colonial on one of Maplewood's most coveted streets, impeccably maintained by its current owner, is a whole lifestyle upgrade. Sunlight pours through the all-season sun porch into a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bookcases. The flow is effortless granite-and-stainless kitchen to butler's pantry to a formal dining room that frames your backyard like a painting. And when the weather calls, step straight from the kitchen onto the back deck everything you need for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining, right at your fingertips. That backyard? Your warm-weather headquarters. A beautiful composite deck made for long dinners and summer evenings you don't want to end. Upstairs: three generous bedrooms with plenty of natural light and a full bath and cedar storage closet. Downstairs: a finished basement that moonlights as a wet bar with marble counter and entertainment lounge with a full recently renovated bath and plenty of room for a home office, playspace or game room. The laundry? Cleverly concealed beneath the marble benchtop of the wet bar because in a home this well thought-out, even the practical is stylish.
