From the moment you arrive, this extraordinary Dutch Colonial impresses with character, craftsmanship, and timeless warmth. Enter the grand foyer and you are greeted by rich hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and extensive millwork throughout. A wrought iron staircase rises to a sweeping balcony above, a breathtaking first impression. The main level flows beautifully. The spacious living room, anchored by a fireplace and built-ins, connects through pocket French doors to a family room spanning the rear of the home with a windowed wall of views to the backyard greenery. It connects to a sun-drenched eating area off the chef’s kitchen, where a center island takes center stage and a back staircase adds easy functionality. A formal dining room and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a full bath with spa tub, joined by three additional bedrooms, an updated hall bath, and second-floor laundry. The third floor adds two more rooms that function as bedrooms or offices with a full bath. The finished lower level features a rec room, gym, small resistance pool, and mudroom. Outside, the backyard is expansive and lush with mature trees, a sweeping lawn, and a tucked-away fireplace area perfect for cool evenings. Located in one of Ridgewood’s most idyllic neighborhoods, just moments from a bustling downtown, great dining, shopping, easy NYC access, and top-ranked NJ schools. This your home sweet home!
