Welcome to 37 Elmwood Road!
Just over the hill from Montclair and close to restaurants, shopping and NYC transport, this enchanting and beloved brownstone Tudor sits up on the prettiest Cul-de-sac. Every corner invites you to sink in, settle down, and stay a while. What will be your favorite spot? The enticing living room, with it's soaring ceiling and leaded windows centered around a grand stone fireplace? How about the sun-filled family room with wood burning fireplace and sliders out to the outdoor oases? Will you let the stories unfold as you sit by candlelight in the charming dining room with garden views? Will you be able to pull yourself away from the sun-drenched breakfast room with slider out so you can enjoy morning coffee and the paper on the patio? We also love the fabulously large and incredibly convenient mud/laundry room off the attached garage which keeps life (and muddy pets, kids and grownups) totally organized! You'll love the inviting lower-level family room—with it's gas stone fireplace— offering more space to sink deep into the coziest couch, wrapped in a blanket, with the perfect show queued and snacks within easy reach. Upstairs, there are 3 big bedrooms including the primary ensuite. (One of the bedrooms used to be two bedrooms!)

Out back is the perfect perennial packed backyard - where taking in sunsets is a dream come true. This backyard isn’t just a private retreat—it’s a place where memories are made. Many hours of baseball have been played here, with the crack of the bat echoing through long summer evenings, laughter filling the air, and the next generation of home run hitters taking their first swings. A yard designed for play, gatherings, and the simple joy of being home.

Convenient access to NYC is available with transport via bus from nearby Pompton Avenue in Cedar Grove or by train or bus from Upper Montclair. With touches of magic throughout, this warm, welcoming, and wonderfully located home feels like the warmest embrace of sophistication. Effortlessly livable from top to bottom. The perfect backdrop for your best life!
