If you're out there searching for that Maplewood NJ Tuscan neighborhood home, you don't need to look any further!
For most of the Brooklynites and Manhattanites who move to Maplewood, NJ, the Maplewood Tuscan Neighborhood (also referred to as "College Hill," is getting a lot of buzz these days. For those of you looking for a house in the Tuscan neighborhood, I'm excited to give you the heads up on a new listing that I have coming on the market this week. This is a fabulous 4 bedroom 2.5 bath Maplewood, NJ Tuscan neighborhood home that has been completely updated from top to bottom. It is not your ordinary "Pottery Barn" renovation - these people have exceptional taste and know how to put it all together.
When you first approach this Nantucket-style home, you are greeted by a welcoming, open porch and comfortable seating. Once you step inside, a pallette of cool blues creates a sense of serentity and ease, making you feel right at home. Starting with the first floor, the Sellers have reinterpreted the use of the formal dining room into a great space for lounging, watching television or catching up with work. The familiar "Maplewood Room" - the side room off the living or dining room, ubiqutious in so many Maplewood houses - now serves as their dining room.
It even gets better as you enter a very modern kitchen, which carries over the color scheme from the living room and dining room. A long white glass-like countertop stretches from one end of the room to the other, surrounded by steel blue cabinetry and teal blue tile backsplash. This is a perfect room for entertaining, with a sleek and inviting feel. A very modern powder room is conveniently located just off the kitchen, as well as a finsihed lower level that serves as a great playroom/family room.
Three bedrooms (one oversized) and a full, updated bath complete the 2nd floor. The rest of the house carries the same soothing color scheme all the way to the 3rd floor, where you catch your breath when you first glimpse the unexpected, zen-like master retreat they have created. An oasis where you can shed the day's stress, this room includes a custom designed bathroom, with oversized open glass shower that blends in with the design of the rest of the room. Concealed custom cabinets line one entire wall, while a built-in king-size custom bed flanks another. The home's fine attention to detail is underscored by recessed lighting, adding ambience throughout the house.
Just about everything has been updated in this home, including a new teak deck, new garage, young roof, and central air.
It is very refreshing to see such meticulous thought put into the design and functionality of a home. This is truly a hidden gem - a combination of old meets new - that will make you feel right at home.
