39 Cottage Avenue

There is ONE five bedroom home on the market right now in Southern Schools under $350k (that doesn't need a full blown renovation)... this guy right here. And renovating this house would be foolish, it has more character than Ryan Reynolds. Outside - Massive L-shaped wrap around porch (just painted this year). It's probably illegal to not having a rocking chair on this porch, check with Glen Rock Boro. Speaking of the boro, if you look out and to the left you have a view of the metropolis of glen rock below. Side yard has a custom parking pad, an overlook/sunbathing platform, and plenty of space for cornhole. Back yard is basically an oasis. Natural fencing on the backside in the way of basically a cliff that was carved out. You won't need to repair or repaint a cliff. Sides have a wooden fencing. Solid mix of grass, mulched flower beds, pebble patio, and of course water... there's a pond. It's not that big, but it has fish. The fish don't stay, but you can get fish. The lot goes way up the hillside, just under a half acre. The seller already paid for tree cutting so you have approximately 37 years of free firewood for a firepit. Roof is brand new. Biggest ticket item in a house is done. New bronze gutters and downspouts, white downspouts are so 2024. We're setting trends here. Inside you are not going to find the boring millenial grey floors, grey walls, grey lights, grey kitchen, grey everything. Original hardwood floors. Original solid wood doors. Wavy glass windows. Crown moulding. Columns. Tall baseboards. First level has a living room (fireplace - little johnny won't cry wondering how Santa is getting in), formal dining room, two bedrooms, full bathroom, and bonus room (could be used as pantry, mudroom, storage, etc). I felt like royalty walking up the U-shaped staircase. Three more bedrooms upstairs and another full bathroom. Large attic storage space for all the things you'll think you'll need one day but don't. Basement - the electrician who re-wired this house certainly had an OCD diagnosis (this is a good thing). The cleanest/most organized electrical installation you will ever see. Basement layout is brilliant. You have a rec room, utility/laundry area, workshop area, and a storage area.
