125 Hawthorne Avenue

Glen Ridge, NJ 07028

There are good locations in Glen Ridge, and then there's living directly across from Freeman Gardens. Wake to unobstructed views of one of the town's loveliest settings. Stroll the gardens with your coffee, unwind among the roses, or volunteer your green thumb. It's an extension of your own front yard. This classic 1940 Colonial delivers the character Glen Ridge is known for, with hardwood floors, crown molding and central air throughout. A welcoming foyer opens to a living room with wood-burning brick fireplace and period sconces, plus a window-wrapped study ideal as a home office. The formal dining room flows to a renovated eat-in kitchen: white shaker cabinetry, stone counters, subway tile, stainless appliances, double wall ovens and a skylight. Beyond, a screened porch with a knotty pine ceiling overlooks the yard, your summer dining room. Upstairs: three bedrooms and a spacious full bath. The finished lower level adds a recreation room, powder room, laundry and storage. Outside, a paver patio, level yard and detached garage. Steps away, Freeman Gardens designed by landscape architect Ethelbert E. Furlong offers manicured gardens and lawns: freemangardens.org. All within the acclaimed Glen Ridge K-12 school district, and a short walk to the train with Midtown Direct service to NY Penn in about 40 minutes.
