Perched atop a hill in the coveted South End with sweeping NYC views, this distinguished 1898 Colonial by noted architect Warrington G. Lawrence offers a rare blend of historic grandeur and modern livability, just blocks from the Midtown Direct train and top-ranked schools. A stately front porch introduces timeless neoclassical and Greek Revival details, including intricate moldings, fine millwork, and five fireplaces, one a striking carved stone replica of the Pergamon Altar. Meticulously restored by its current owners, the home honors its architectural heritage while embracing modern comfort and was awarded the 2017 Glen Ridge Historical Society Preservation Award. Enhancements include a private primary suite, updated kitchen and baths and central air. Inside, a gracious center hall connects expansive, light-filled rooms in a rare open layout for the era. The chef's kitchen features a large island, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a full butler's pantry, and a dramatic double-sided fireplace shared with the breakfast room. The kitchen and mudroom open to a bluestone patio and private backyard, ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor living, and connect to a spacious family room. The second floor offers 6+ bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a serene primary suite with fireplace, dressing room, and flexible bonus room. A separate carriage house with a 3+ car garage and 2-bedroom apartment above provides exceptional versatility for rental income, guests, or extended living.
