437 4th Avenue, Westwood, NJ

Description

Some homes you shop for. This one you fall for, and it starts the moment you step into the backyard. Behind 437 4th Avenue is a private oasis: mature trees, lush landscaping, a paver patio made for morning coffee, and a cozy gravel lounge that becomes your favorite seat the minute the sun goes down. Then there is the barn. Nobody goes looking for a home because of a barn, until they see this one. It is the rare, flexible space most homes do not have: a workshop, an art studio, a home gym, real storage, or whatever you have been waiting for the room to build. Inside, the home is move-in ready and freshly painted throughout, with an updated bathroom featuring new flooring, vanity, sink, and toilet. The finished basement adds versatile bonus living space. Two bedrooms, one bath, and low taxes at just $8,812 a year. And then there is Westwood itself, one of Bergen County's most loved towns. Its thriving, walkable downtown is only two blocks away, lined with fine dining, bars, a local brewery, and a movie theater, and alive all year with concerts and movie nights in the park, craft fairs, and holiday parades. The public schools are among the best in the area, and the commute is easy: an express bus around the corner reaches the Port Authority in under 35 minutes, and a train two blocks from town runs to Secaucus and Hoboken. Small-town warmth, big-city access, and a backyard and barn you will not find anywhere else at this price. Come see it. This one will not last.
