5 Upland Way, Verona, NJ 07044

Property Description

Rare opportunity in Verona's prized Oakridge section. Set high at the crown of Upland Way on a half-acre lot, this gracious 1920 Colonial presides over a sweeping lawn framed by mature trees and plantings. An enclosed vestibule opens to a central foyer flanked by a formal dining room with built-in China cabinet and a living room with working fireplace and Heatilator. Beyond the living room lies the home's standout feature: a remarkable all-season sunroom with soaring cathedral ceilings and expansive sliding glass doors that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. The eat-in kitchen features a distinctive copper ceiling and backsplash, original cabinetry and thoughtful built-in storage. A laundry room and full bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a full bath, together with generous storage, including a walk-in closet, cedar closet, and access to the main attic. Lovingly expanded and updated over the years, the house retains beautiful hardwood floors, decorative wood borders, period craftsmanship, and architectural details preserve the home's distinctive character. Exceptional parking and storage include a full basement with covered exterior access, an attached finished two-car garage with A/C and direct interior access, a detached two-car garage with a loft, a carport and a garden shed. The landscaped grounds feature underground sprinklers, driveway-area landscape lighting, a garden arbor and gate, and a fountain hook-up.
