About 118 Essex Ave
118 Essex Ave: A beautifully updated Glen Ridge Colonial where classic charm meets modern design, with an exceptional outdoor setting that truly sets this home apart. Thoughtful renovations, generous living spaces, and a spectacular terraced garden create an inviting retreat both inside and out. The main level centers around an impressive custom kitchen featuring premium quartz countertops, walnut shelving, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and a substantial island with farmhouse sink and breakfast seating. The adjacent dining room features sliding glass doors which open to the tiered patio. A spacious living room with a relined wood-burning fireplace provides a warm gathering space, while the heated sunroom offers another versatile place to relax. A mudroom and radiant-heated powder room add everyday convenience. Three bedrooms occupy the second floor, along with a renovated full bath with a solid-resin soaking tub, marble flooring, and basalt-tiled shower. The third floor has a fourth bedroom along with a generous flex space, illuminated by new skylights and windows and ideal for an office, studio, playroom, or den. The finished lower level adds a full bath, laundry and additional flexible space for guests or recreation. A two-car garage completes the package. Recent improvements include Andersen windows, roof and gutters, 200-amp electrical service, and central air on the first floor. This is a home that combines character, comfort, and effortless everyday living.
