Located in one of North Caldwell's favorite neighborhoods and surrounded by some of the town's finest homes, this classic ranch offers a rare chance to renovate, expand, or build new in a setting where elegant homes are the standard. The main level offers true one-floor living. A welcoming foyer opens to a bright living room with hardwood floors, a large picture window, and a stone wood-burning fireplace, which flows into a formal dining room overlooking the wooded yard. The eat-in kitchen is ready for your design vision. A spacious den off the dining room gives you room to relax, work, or entertain, and it leads to a screened porch overlooking a private, level backyard framed by mature trees. The bedroom wing has a primary bedroom with its own bath and two closets, plus two more bedrooms with walls of windows that fill them with natural light, and a full hall bath. Hardwood floors run through much of the main level. A two-car garage and a full lower level with laundry, a utility room, and plenty of storage complete the home. You can update and personalize this home or start fresh and build your dream home. Either way, the setting is what makes this property special. Just 20 miles from NYC, the home is close to NJ Transit bus and train service and near the vibrant downtowns of Montclair, Caldwell, and Verona. Home is being sold in as-is condition. **Final and best offers due on Wednesday 10/28 by 5pm**
