Bathed in beautiful southwest light and set on a prominent corner lot, this remarkable 1888 Victorian farmhouse offers the perfect balance of historic charm, modern comfort, and an exceptional blend of indoor/outdoor living. Known for its appearance in more than twelve national commercials, the home is beloved for its gracious proportions, soaring 12ft ceilings, open flow, and sun-filled interiors. The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated kitchen, where skylights illuminate abundant Parsons cabinetry, expansive counter space, a charming seating nook, granite countertops, a Viking range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A practical mudroom and semi-finished basement add flexibility and functionality. The primary suite features a fireplace, WIC, and luxurious bath. Flexible third floor space with bedroom, bath and laundry. Step outside to discover a backyard designed for unforgettable entertaining. The landscaped grounds feature an inground pool surrounded by Vermont quarry granite decking, a tranquil koi pond, and a custom clubhouse built by the current owner. Recent upgrades include replacement of AC units, freshly painted interiors. Perfectly positioned between both Glen Ridge and Bloomfield Midtown Direct train and central to all top-ranked public schools, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most iconic and admired homes.
