A rare opportunity to own one of five existing cement homes built in 1924 by Ackerman Concrete Co and the iconic Bergen County Ackerman Family. Set on a flat 109 X 108 lot this Handsome Colonial is updated and improved with all modern amenities and systems featuring the best of today combined with the finest materials and charm of yesteryear. The location is fantastic! A short walk to everthing that is Hillsdale NJ: shops, restaurants, schools, recreation, NYC transportation and trains and fun. A more ambitious but reasonable walk takes you to the middle of Westwood, as well. Enjoy the front screened in porch for a true 11 months with the fall and winter window panels installed. The spacious first floor rooms include a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, an updated kitchen with solid oak cabinetry, Quartz counter tops, ceramic farm sink, upgraded appliances and a walk-in pantry. A first-floor bedroom, the 5th, can also be used an an office. The second floor has four large bedrooms and closets galore. The primary bedroom also has an office with plumbing, once slated to be a primary bath. The basement is finished with four rooms once used for extended family but can accomodate a multitude of uses and possibilities. Having been lovingly maintained and improved by one family since it was built this home has quite a story ... a happy story ...to be continued by its next lucky family.
