39 Kendal Ave, Maplewood, NJ 07040

For the design-forward buyer craving soul, substance & story. Thoughtfully reimagined w/ a refined editorial eye, this 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath Colonial balances timeless architecture w/ deeply intentional, bespoke interiors that feel both elevated & entirely livable. Set on one of Maplewood's most admired streets, this home unfolds in layers of warmth, texture & light. Original character remains beautifully intact, while curated wall coverings, custom window treatments, sculptural lighting, and rich tonal palettes create spaces that feel quietly luxurious and emotionally resonant. The living room invites slow mornings & candlelit evenings alike, anchored by a newly converted gas FP & French doors opening to lush outdoor spaces. A sun-drenched Maplewood room becomes the perfect creative studio, reading retreat, or sophisticated WFH sanctuary. Upstairs, serene bedrooms feel pulled from the pages of a design magazine, while the finished third floor offers a private escape equally suited for guests, office, or primary suite. Outside, professionally redesigned fully fenced grounds feature decking, bluestone patio, layered landscaping, custom firepit seating & the kind of atmosphere that makes dinner parties linger long after sunset. Behind the beauty is substance: central air & Mitsubishi systems, new boiler, upgraded electrical, integrated security, refinished flooring, custom millwork details & extensive system improvements throughout. Intimate, refined and impossible to replicate.
