About this home

A rare and distinguished offering on one of Glen Ridge’s quiet, tree-lined streets, this beautifully maintained 1880s Colonial Revival blends historic character and thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you arrive, the wraparound porch and striking presence set a gracious tone. Inside, generously proportioned rooms, architectural detail, and beautifully balanced living spaces are designed for both relaxed daily living and elegant entertaining. Offering 6 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, a playroom, and a private office, this home combines grand scale, easy flow, and the kind of warmth and sophistication that is increasingly hard to find. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, unfolding across three separate rooms: the primary bedroom with an en suite, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, and a dressing room. The other en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort and flexibility for family and guests alike. Rich in history and built by noted Glen Ridge developer Asabel Darwin, the home has been thoughtfully updated to honor its original integrity while enhancing comfort and function. The detached oversized two-car garage provides ample storage and added convenience. With its inviting layout, expansive backyard, and proximity to schools, parks, and town, the home offers an ideal setting for modern living. All of this is just .3 miles from the Glen Ridge train station, offering an easy commute to New York City. This gorgeous home is not to be missed.
