276 Bay Avenue

Bay Avenue, in the heart of Glen Ridge, is an incredible commuter location right on the Montclair border. From here you can walk just half a mile to Bay Street Midtown Direct train station, 0.6 mile to Walnut Street, and 0.4 mile to 3 Decamp commuter bus routes. The jitney that shuttles to and from Glen Ridge train station is right at the next corner.  In addition to this myriad of transportation choices, you can head over to Montclair’s Walnut Street district for some brunch, dinner, shopping or just to pick up some designer donuts.  Just a short distance in the other direction down Bay, you’ll reach Bloomfield’s super convenient North Center shopping district, which also has many fine and convenient shops and restaurants.

Everybody loves an adorable Colonial with a picture perfect front porch.  This home has considerable curb appeal, enhanced by the new hardyboard exterior siding and bright red front door.  Around the back there is an all-weather deck and a very pretty, well-maintained backyard with plantings that provide a good amount of privacy.  The one car width driveway widens at the end to accommodate two cars side by side.

Many updates and charming details abound throughout the home including a stunning floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace, limestone hearth, beamed ceilings, diamond-pane windows, newly refinished hardwood floors, stylish light fixtures, a 2 year old boiler, and updated electrical. The kitchen is newer with granite counters and stainless appliances, and the bathroom & powder room have also seen recent updates. The room flow offers a great balance between space separation and connection. All rooms are spacious, and there’s even a TV/family room off the formal living room. The bedrooms are good sizes and the third floor has a bedroom and office area.

The basement is currently unfinished but it has the space and height to become a fantastic finished family room, with additional potential for a finished laundry room and another bathroom.

And then of course there are the Glen Ridge Schools – highly rated, quality instruction, manageable class sizes, personalized attention, great results! One of the best school districts in New Jersey.
