Some homes you walk into and immediately picture the life you'd have there. This classic 1910s American Foursquare is one of them. It starts on the deep covered porch under a warm wood-plank ceiling, with room for rocking chairs and neighbors who actually stop to talk. Inside, parquet floors, a built-in bench, and stained glass catching the light over the staircase.The craftsmanship is the story. Coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms, fluted columns framing the openings, brick fireplace, herringbone oak floors, and another stained glass panel above the dining room windows that is impossible to replicate today.The solarium is the room you will fight over. Windows on three sides, sun all day, perfect for morning coffee or the home office you actually want to sit in. A second glass-wrapped sunroom upstairs works as a studio or quiet workspace. Down the hall, a vintage clawfoot tub sits under double windows in the treetops.The kitchen is clean and ready to cook in with quartz counters, subway tile and stainless appliances, opening to the driveway and level yard where the basketball hoop already lives.Here is what makes it all work. Glen Ridge station puts you on a direct train to NY Penn in about 35 minutes. Downtown Glen Ridge, with its historic gas lamps, shops and restaurants along Ridgewood Avenue, is minutes away, and Montclair is right next door.Charm, light, space, and a train to the city. That combination does not sit long.
