Property Description
Welcome home to this gorgeous, lovingly maintained, expanded Cape in Bloomfield's desirable Brookdale section! Thoughtfully upgraded, this home offers flexible spaces for living and entertaining. From the formal entryway living room leading to the kitchen and dining area, you'll find a natural flow into the show-stopping family room, featuring solid oak slab paneling, vaulted ceiling, two skylights, and Andersen sliders to the deck and backyard. Two queen-sized first-floor bedrooms offer space for guests or a WFH office. The front bedroom overlooks professionally landscaped hydrangeas, while the rear offers tranquil backyard views and sliders to your private oasis. Enjoy coffee on the deck or gather by the fire pit, surrounded by nature with no rear neighbors! Upstairs, a spacious loft-style primary bedroom retreat awaits, with a separate sitting area perfect for a dressing table or exercise space. The finished basement includes a rec room and laundry, with convenient access to the kitchen and street-level attached 1-car garage ideal for grocery hauls! Driveway parking can accommodate 2 cars. NYC commuters will enjoy being steps from the NJT #102 bus to NY Port Authority or hopping on the Bloomfield North Loop jitney for a short ride to Bloomfield's NJT Lackawanna station (35 mins direct to NY Penn) or the Grove St Light Rail station to Newark Penn for the PATH and more NJT options. This wonderful home truly has the best of everything, all wrapped up in the prettiest package!
