A unique opportunity in this highly sought-after Essex County community brings historic charm and lifestyle convenience together in this stunning Colonial home. Here is a chance to breathe new life into this historic property bulit in 1881, offering 1700 sq feet of living space perched on just over a third of an acre with a detached, oversized two-car garage or barn. An extra-wide driveway provides additional parking space. In the style of wood-framed farmhouse with a front porch, this home is awaiting a Renaissance that will retain and enhance the existing architectural details evident throughout, including original wide plank flooring, a large country kitchen with a wood-beamed ceiling, a wood-burning stove, vaulted ceilings on the top floor, and exquisite custom woodwork and trim details. This home is superbly located near highly rated West Essex Regional schools and a wide array of bus options to get to New York City or surrounding cities, with an average commute time of about thirty minutes. It is near one of the town's most unique features-the site where preserved dinosaur tracks were found and an outdoor sculpture park. Nearby Eagle Rock Ave is a central hub for dining and day-to-day shopping.
