32 Rutgers St

Description

Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the sought-after College Hill section, 32 Rutgers St strikes a rare balance between updates,charm & genuine warmth. Abundant natural light pours through generously sized newer windows, illuminating refinished original hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout--a home cared for with evident pride. The first floor unfolds with wonderful flow: a welcoming foyer opens to a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with marble overlay, a formal dining room, den, kitchen, breakfast room, and a sun-drenched three-season porch overlooking the yard. Step outside to a sweeping deck set within a fully fenced, private yard, where a magnificent mature cherry tree blooms overhead each spring. Upstairs, the bedrooms are generously proportioned and the renovated main bath features an oversized shower and soaking tub. Crown moldings and chair rail speak to craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction. A full walk-up attic offers exciting potential for a primary suite, home office, or expansive flex space. The partially finished basement offers rec space perfect for movie night or entertaining. A newer roof and thoughtful updates throughout offer peace of mind from day one. Close to the acclaimed Maplewood Village, the Mid-Town Direct train (Jitney stop 1.5 blocks away), Avenue Pub forTrivia Night, Perla's Oyster Bar, Corner Slice, Pallet Brewing, Arties & Memorial Park's Maplewoodstock in July--the best location for the best of Maplewood!
