Hey Guys, want to move to the burbs and decrease your carbon footprint, make the air cleaner  and be healthier? Move to Short Hills and walk to the train station and you can be at work in 40 minutes. There are great Short Hills homes that are within walking distance to the station.  You can find a luxury Short Hills home or a first time buyer's dream home.  The convenience of purchasing real estate near the Short Hills Train Station can simplify your life. 

One of the advantages of living in the Short Hills area....

Is that you are close to the famous Short Hills Mall with its many exciting opportunities to spend your money.  One of my favorite spots in the Mall is Legal Seafood.  It's got a great menu- you can have your fish fried, broiled ,blackened or grilled and its always fresh.

And here's a tip to enjoy a very casual and quick meal.  Sit at the bar!  You can get full menu service; you just come in and grab a cocktail table or a stool at the bar.  The salads are great, my husband loves the tuna burgers, the crab cakes are delicious and its fast, easy and fun.

Living in the Short Hills area sure has its advantages...

Short Hills and Summit New Jersey Home Sellers Put Your Homes on the Market now

I have many buyers who are chomping at the bit to buy a home in Short Hills and Summit New Jersey.  A lot of them have been researching the market and narrowing down their decisions about which neighborhoods they like, how far they are willing to travel to get into NYC , whether they want 3 or 4 or five bedrooms, whether they are willing to give up size for location or how much work they are willing to put up with if everything else about the house in right.

For example, I have 2 families who have spent a lot of time looking at preschool options in the Short Hills area for their son. One family would like a 4 bedroom home in the $1-$1.4 million range in Short Hills. A large backyard where the kids could play is a priority for them.  The husband is happy driving to the train station on a daily basis.  The other family would like to stay in the under $1 million range and they are looking for a 4 bedroom home with 2 .5 baths with a large kitchen and they would rather not have to do work because the children have allergies.

I have another family who after researching the towns has decided that Summit is the town for them.  They have a toddler and another on the way and are looking in the $1.2 range.  They would like 4 bedrooms, don't mind doing some work, must have an attached 2 car garage and like the North side or Franklin sections.

And there are more- so my advice to sellers is to put your house on the market now- before spring when the competition can be intense and your house might not be the "prettiest girl at the party".

Its not very often that a great deal in real estate comes along, but I have one for you! This is a large unit that is totally upgraded.  The last comparable unit that sold, sold for $416,00 and this one is nicer!  The sale price is $389,000.  There is one currently on the market that is $428,000- go figure!

My listing in Crystal Woods is an unbelievably great Great Deal.  It's a 3 bedroom Chelsea with a gorgeous expanded kitchen.  Granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, tiled backsplash, gorgeous wood floors on the first floor are only some of the outstanding features of this property.  It has a huge master bedroom with a totally renovated bathroom with whirlpool tub, separate shower, 2 sinks , granite countertop  and plenty of space.

Upstairs from the master, the 2 bedrooms share a renovated bath.  One of the bedrooms is huge and the other has a wall of windows.  There are 2 decks, a partially finished basement and a 2 car garage. The community has 2 pools , a playground and tennis courts.

At $389,000 this is a great deal on a West Orange Townhouse
