If great light is your love language, oooh...you're going to want to see this one. This expanded ranch is filled with sunshine from dawn to dusk, with oversized windows framing leafy views and bringing the outdoors in. A brand-new kitchen brings fresh style and function, while the main living spaces feel open, comfortable, and connected. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the main level, and the generously sized family room flows easily into the dining area, creating a layout that works just as well for entertaining as it does for everyday living. The main level offers three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a lovely primary suite with its own bath and a bay window overlooking the trees. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level adds an incredible amount of flexible space. High ceilings, a large recreation room, an additional room that could easily become a fourth bedroom, a half bath with room to expand into a third full bath, laundry, and a huge workshop. Outside, an open patio overlooks the expansive backyard, offering plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing with a morning coffee. Close to Montclair State University and nearby train access, museums, cultural events, and just minutes from the town of Montclair with nearly 200 restaurants, two movie theaters, Montclair Film Festival, Jazz Festival, and something happening seemingly every weekend, you'll never run out of places to go or things to do.
