144 Crestwood Ave

An extraordinary opportunity to own a charming, gingerbread-trimmed and well-maintained 3-bedroom family home located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in Nutley. The enclosed rocking-chair front porch invites you into the home and opens to a light-filled living and dining room featuring original maple hardwood floors, classic trim, six-panel doors, oversized windows and timeless character. The first-floor flows into a family room with warm wood wainscotting and a fireplace, a bedroom turned office with closet and full bath. The efficiently laid-out, updated eat-in kitchen opens to an oversized deck overlooking the pool and backyard. The 2nd floor features two generously sized bedrooms with deep closets and another full bath. Off the primary bedroom is a cozy office or reading nook. The basement has access to the backyard and features the laundry area, a 20’ workbench for DIYers, and an old-fashioned canned jam storage closet. Updated utilities include central air conditioning. The exterior of the home is an entertaining, gardening and relaxation paradise. The above-ground pool sparkles with a new liner and is surrounded by Azek decking that leads to a stone paver patio with seating around a firepit, a BBQ area and a view of the large, level backyard that features terraced gardens and a fenced-in yard at the property line. The one car garage has lots of storage space, and the driveway fits 2-3 cars. Ideally located near shops, restaurants, major highways, an elementary school and local parks. Bring your vision to make this your new home. Home is being sold as-is.
