Listing Description

A fully reimagined 1916 Dutch Colonial in the heart of Woodbridge—where preserved architectural character meets comprehensive, modern reconstruction. The entry sets the tone with original paneled wainscoting and original ceramic tile, immediately grounding the home in its historic integrity. Beyond, the layout opens into a bright, cohesive living and dining sequence, anchored by restored woodwork, a coffered ceiling, pocket doors, and a beautifully detailed staircase—spaces that feel both intentional and connected. The kitchen has been completely redesigned, featuring new cabinetry, quartz countertops, designer ceramic backsplash, and an expanded pantry configuration that improves both function and flow. Material selections balance classic and current, including vintage-inspired rectangular and hexagon tile, refined detailing that complements the home’s original architecture. A quiet study off the entry and a new, well-positioned powder room add flexibility to the main level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer strong proportions and storage, including a refined primary suite with an expanded walk-in closet and direct access to a thoughtfully updated full bath featuring an oversized shower and soaking tub, with complimentary ceramic tile that adds subtle texture and depth. The lower level remains open and adaptable, with a full bath, dog wash station — and a separate artist’s studio or creative workspace—ideal for studio use, remote work, or flexible living. A secure,dog run and off street tandem parking provide added convenience. Extensive updates include new roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, and lighting—delivering long-term reliability within the home’s original architectural framework. Designed for buyers who value architectural character with the confidence of fully updated systems.
