Welcome to 68 Osborne Street, a unique, lovingly preserved five-bedroom home. This special Arts and Crafts Colonial is nestled on a tree-lined street in highly desirable Glen Ridge, close to Broad Street’s shops and restaurants, Montclair’s cultural hub, and NYC transportation.

 

Located within Glen Ridge's renowned school district, this charming home won the prestigious Glen Ridge Historical Society’s Preservation Award in honor of its tasteful, historically accurate restoration, and it’s easy to see why.

Step from the house’s expansive front porch into the welcoming foyer with guest closet, and admire the intricate ribboned parquet flooring, colorful stained glass windows and original dramatic oak moldings and built-in accents. Stunning beamed ceilings grace the formal dining room and the living room, which also feature parquet flooring and wall-panel wainscoting. An elegant gas fireplace takes center stage in the living room, which opens through oak columns to the dining room and the eat-in kitchen beyond.

The updated, gourmet eat-in kitchen features wide-plank floors, beautiful imported Portuguese tile backsplashes, exposed brick, custom cabinets, recessed lights and stainless steel appliances, including an Italian-made luxury Verona stove with hood. With its bistro-style seating, this kitchen is a congenial gathering spot for family and guests. From the kitchen there’s access to a mudroom and backyard, as well as to the large full, unfinished walk-out basement with utilities, and tons of storage.

The second floor boasts four generous bedrooms, a hall linen closet, and a full bath with pedestal sink, tile floor, and shower/tub. The third floor includes a bright, newly carpeted fifth bedroom with a large walk-in closet, and a spacious unfinished area that could be designed to include an office or sixth bedroom and a second full bath.

The shady, fenced private backyard offers room for landscaping, a deck, and/or a garage.   

Don’t miss this opportunity to own and cherish a piece of Glen Ridge history with room to grow and make it your own.
