Beautiful 4 Bedroom, 2.1 Bath center hall Colonial with quiet architectural charm, including built-in bookcases, sunken family room, high ceilings and stone walls! Period details abound with refinished hardwood floors throughout, bay windows and wainscoting in the elegant living and dining rooms, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with granite surround and custom mantel in the living room. Two renovations, a two-story side addition and a rear addition, add a comfortable Den/Office on the first level with 6 floor-to-ceiling windows, and a primary bedroom with en-suite bath on the second level. In the back of the house a gracious Family Room was added with twelve foot ceilings, a custom cherrywood built-in bookcase, two walls of windows and French doors leading to the bluestone patio and overlooking the landscaped backyard. This home is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with no through traffic. Uniquely the neighborhood boasts a playground and park within its borders. In addition to the idyllic setting, the house is convenient to all amenities of Livingston and Millburn. A bus to NYC stops at the beginning of Dogwood Road and the Short Hills Mall is nearby.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
