653 Ridgewood Avenue

Tucked on one of Essex County's most coveted streets - wide, tree-lined, and genuinely peaceful - this stunning updated Colonial sits at the rare convergence of Montclair, Glen Ridge, and Bloomfield, just steps from Brookdale Park, a 121-acre retreat with wooded trails, athletic fields, tennis courts, and more. Inside, the home is as functional as it is beautiful: the main level flows from a sun-drenched living room to a formal dining room, a chef's kitchen appointed with luxury appliances, and a sunroom that brings the outside in year-round. Upstairs, the second floor is anchored by a primary suite with a full bath designed to impress, alongside two generous bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor delivers a private guest suite with its own full bath - a tucked-away retreat for anyone who needs their own space. The fully finished basement adds serious square footage with two bonus rooms (think: dedicated office and a den), a full bath, a spacious laundry room, and ample storage. Out back, a large deck is built for entertaining; out front, a covered porch is built for spring afternoons watching a thunderstorm roll in. A two-car detached garage completes the picture. This is where location and lifestyle stop being a trade-off - some addresses just have it all.
