MLS LISTING
Most homes make you choose between formal dining and a first-floor primary. This one doesn't.
145 Alexander Street sits on a quiet block in Vailsburg, one of Newark's most established residential neighborhoods. Four bedrooms and two full baths inside a Sidehall colonial built in the first decades of the twentieth century. The bones are original. The systems are not.
Step inside and the first floor flexes hard. A living and dining room combo runs the front of the house, lit by a bay-style window. Behind it, what the floor plan calls a bedroom is currently set up as a formal dining room. But it is, in fact, a true first-floor bedroom with the renovated full bath right next door, ready to serve as a main-level primary the day you want it. The modern eat-in kitchen anchors the rest of the floor with stainless appliances, a brand-new refrigerator, quartz countertops, and plentiful cabinetry. The adjacent breakfast nook, currently set up as an office, has a washer and dryer hookup built in.
Upstairs, three bright bedrooms share a fully remodeled second full bath. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, and elegant turn-of-the-century molding run throughout, paired with updated plumbing and electrical that bring the home into the present without erasing its past.
Outside, a charming front lemonade porch invites slow afternoons, and the private fenced backyard is ready for summer grilling. The sizable unfinished basement offers real storage today and the potential for a finished home office, gym, or play space tomorrow.
Welcome home.
