6 Essex Road, Essex Fells, NJ 07021 US Livingston Home

The Borough of Essex Fells is the smallest community in Essex County, and one of its most sought after addresses.  Six Essex Road sits in a quiet corner of town, directly on the Caldwell border, and backs to over six acres of wooded land, which is owned by the Borough of Essex Fells. 

In this idyllic setting, Six Essex Road is a modern-day storybook cottage.  A brick chimney peeks over the roofline.  A welcoming curb appeal is defined by an assortment of features, including: Cedar shake vinyl siding, a bay window, blue shutters, multiple roof lines, shade trees, a lattice entry trellis  and a basket weave paver driveway.  

The home’s exterior promise is delivered on, both inside and in the backyard.  Stepping through the ivied trellis onto the gleaming hardwood floors in the foyer the focal point is a crisp white Colonial railing, which borders the hardwood stairs to the lower level.  The oak floor continues into the spacious living room, where one of two lovely wood-burning fireplaces is centrally positioned to face the room, opposite the bowed French doors with flanking double-hung windows, which lead to the deck.  A palette of pleasing color warms the room and accents the fireplace. 

The dining room is open to the living room, and shares the warmth and ambiance of the fireplace.  A built-in cupboard with Palladian doors adorns a corner of the room.  A lovely den is adjacent to the dining room.  The room has hardwood flooring and three walls of windows that bring in the beautiful elements of nature surrounding the home.

The kitchen is nicely updated with a wealth of white cabinetry - some with glass cabinet doors, recessed lighting, a paneled refrigerator, a white tile backsplash with a cobalt accent, gas range, microwave, crown molding, and a deep pantry cabinet with swing-out shelving to maximize storage.

The bath is also updated with unique custom cherry cabinetry with an ornate wood-framed mirror, crown molding and brass sconce lighting.  The faucet is classic ceramic and brass goose neck that matches the brass hardware throughout the room.  The shower is tiled and fitted with a frosted glass door.

Two bedrooms are located on the main level at the front of the home.  Both rooms have exposed hardwood floors.  The master bedroom features a bay window to the front of the home, and four raised casement windows on the side wall.  All of the windows in the home are energy-efficient double-pane replacements.

A large multi-level deck is just outside of the living room.  The deck overlooks a lovely yard and the wooded glen.  An area at the rear of the property has been cleared to offer a shady retreat at the edge of the woods.  It’s the perfect area to relax and enjoy the wonders of nature in the privacy of your own backyard.

Six Essex Road is located in both Essex Fells and Caldwell Boroughs.  Taxes are paid to both towns.  Students residing at this address attend the Caldwell school system.

Essex Fells is home to the Trotter Tract, an 83 acre preserve with trails that open to the public.  It is home to dozens of types of birds, as well as local flora and faunas, and some of the town’s water wells

Other areas maintained by the borough for the enjoyment of residents include The Glen: an area behind the Essex Fells School containing native trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers; and the Skating Pond at corner of Forest Way and Fells Road, which is formed each autumn by damming a brook that runs through the meadow.
