PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Welcome to 144 California Street, a classic Dutch Colonial nestled in the heart of Upper Ridgewood. Upon entry, a warm living room greets you. At once you will notice a beautiful fireplace surrounded by rich wood paneling original to the home. A large opening connects the living room to the dining room, allowing both spaces to share this stunning focal point. The dining room sits at the center of the floor plan, with sightlines to the sunroom with cathedral ceiling and the modern kitchen with updated counters and cabinetry. A first-floor surprise includes what was once a bedroom, now thoughtfully converted to a handsome library with its own separate entrance—a quiet retreat for work or relaxation. A powder room off the back entry completes the first floor. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with a newer full bath, two additional bedrooms, and another full bath. The lower level showcases rich wood paneling, a second fireplace, and a built-in bar—perfect for a family room, media space, or home gym. A separate laundry room and ample storage complete this level. Outside, a stone patio covered by a custom awning overlooks your private backyard—ideal for entertaining or dining al fresco. A two-car garage with charming details provides both function and visual appeal from the rear of the property. Close to top-rated schools, NYC transportation, and Ridgewood's vibrant downtown, this home awaits its next chapter. Make it yours!
