If you have been searching for the ideal blend of 1920s historic charm, smart architectural flow, and unbeatable transit access, our newest listing has arrived.
Welcome to 12 Lancaster Avenue, Maplewood, NJ—a timeless 1926 all-brick Cape Cod offered at $749,000.
Classic 1926 Architecture with Thoughtful Flow
From the curb, this home stands out with its solid brick exterior, manicured lawn, and welcoming entrance. Step inside to an expansive living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by rich, dark hardwood floors and detailed wood trim craftsmanship framing custom interior plantation shutters.
Just off the living room sits a quintessential Maplewood Room—a sun-drenched enclosed porch that makes the ultimate home office, quiet reading lounge, or sunlit plant sanctuary.
The main level connects effortlessly:
- Formal Dining Room: Ideal for holiday gatherings and intimate dinner parties.
- Kitchen Flow: Designed with private stair placement—stairwells to both the upper and lower levels are tucked discreetly away rather than greeting you at the front door.
- First-Floor Bedrooms: Two generously sized bedrooms offering flexible one-level living options.
- Full Bath: Conveniently located to serve the main-level suites and guests.
Flexible Spaces Designed for Today & Tomorrow
One of the standout features of 12 Lancaster Avenue is its upper-level versatility. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms alongside an expansive central sitting room. This versatile footprint provides exceptional possibilities:
- Upper Lounge or Playroom: Keep it as a dedicated second-floor den, homework station, or executive office.
- Primary Suite Expansion: Convert the sitting room into a luxurious en-suite primary bathroom and walk-in closet.
- Custom Configuration: Reconfigure the layout to match your household's exact lifestyle needs.
Head downstairs to the finished lower level, which extends your living space even further with a recreation room, half bathroom, laundry room, dedicated utility room, and extensive storage.
Outdoor Haven & Commuter Convenience
Step outside to a deep, park-like backyard complete with an open porch for outdoor dining and seasonal entertaining. A detached two-car garage paired with a long private driveway ensures parking for you and your guests is never an issue.
For commuters, this location delivers effortless access:
- 🚆 1.0 mile to the Maplewood Train Station (Midtown Direct service into NYC Penn Station)
- 🚌 0.7 miles to NJ Transit NYC bus service
