Classic, understated beauty as you approach, but WOW, the front door opens like an invitation. As you enter, you remember why a great room floor plan is beloved for a reason - it's so perfect for entertaining and daily living. Flooded with natural light and volume, the home's high ceilings, brand new carpeting and beautiful hardwoods, a striking marble fireplace and built-in bookshelves highlight the open living room. The dining room with coffered ceiling, built-ins and hardwoods is just off the remodeled island kitchen, with new appliances, hardwoods floors and quartz counters. The primary bedroom en-suite, with luxurious remodeled bath, and home office with large windows and built-in shelves are also conveniently on the main floor. A composite deck across the back overlooks a tranquil green space that makes you feel like you're on vacation! You could spend the afternoon stretched out on the back deck, sunlight filtering through the trees, nothing but birds and a breeze for company. The lower level unfolds to a generous family room with a composite deck, plus four bedrooms and two bathrooms - a fantastic space that leaves the main floor clean & quiet! Picture windows frame the woods beyond. Down a flight to two versatile flex rooms for home gym, hobbies, office, movies, or many configurations of today's modern living. Lovingly improved over the years, it's a welcoming space...bright, updated, and perfect for multi-generational living, or your big brood. Another perk is that it falls within the outstanding Mountainside High School boundaries. The convenience and easy maintenance of this home has made it live so well for the sellers, whose family has grown and moved away - it's time for another owner to enjoy this tremendous house. The storage is extensive, and the desirable neighborhood is filled with lovely, quality homes and people. Easy care front and back lawns, three newer decks, paths, firepit and woods.
