A VERY CHARMING HOME
Charm abounds in this expanded ranch with plenty of architectural interest. Dentil moldings, wainscoting, built-ins cabinetry and beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout the living areas make this home different than your usual 1950s-built ranch.
Direct entry from the 2 car garage leads to the kitchen area, and to a Guest/Aupair/Inlaw Suite with a separate staircase, a large bedroom and lovely full bath. There is also access to a large finished attic closet and additional unfinished attic space. A gorgeous Family Room with a vaulted ceiling, Palladian window and built-in cabinetry was added in 1995. The Living Room and Dining both feature dentil moldings, chair rails and lovely cabinetry.
The other three bedrooms have ample closet space and more charm. Each room has pretty wood shutters. The Hall Bath and Master Bath are original to the house, but in excellent condition and very sweet.
Hillside Terrace is a very quiet cul de sac in the Stoneridge section of New Providence with a Summit address. It is in the desirable Salt Brook Elementary School district, and is a short distance from the New Providence Train Station. The downtown Village Shopping Center features a new supermarket, a great butcher shop and hardware store. Nearby Downtown Summit has a charming New England-style downtown with lots of eateries and watering holes, a movie theatre and storefront shopping.
New Providence has an excellent public school system, easy access to major highways, and Midtown Direct train service to New York City. Newark Liberty International Airport is just a 20 minute drive away.
