Welcome to this 3-bed, 2-bath colonial on a sunny corner lot, complete with mature trees, bright patches, and just enough yard to look impressive. It's outdoor space you can actually enjoy instead of maintain! Inside, tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and original chestnut trim bring the charm, while high-speed gigabit ethernet keeps everything running smoothly. The finished walk-up attic adds bonus space for guests, hobbies, or whatever project you swear you'll start soon. The dry basement stays warm in winter and cool in summer reliability at its finest. Deerfield School is an easy walk, and the Governor Livingston High School bus stop is right across the street, making mornings easier for all. Commuters and hybrid workers will appreciate nearby NJ Transit routes 65/66, 114, and 117, with westbound service 0.5 miles away and eastbound under a mile. You get suburban breathing room while still keeping NYC within reach. You're steps from sidewalks leading to playgrounds, ballfields, and Mountainside's Borough events including 4th of July fireworks you can watch from your own yard. A quick drive brings you to the Watchung Reservation's trails and stables, plus Echo Lake Park's dog park, paddleboats, and legendary sledding hill. The detached 2-car garage offers parking or workshop potential. Recent updates include a newer tear-off roof, washer, dryer, and front stairs. Downtown Mountainside is just 1.5 miles away.
