107 Hilton Avenue
Dear Future Homeowner,
Welcome to 107 Hilton Avenue — a place that has truly felt like a breath of fresh air from the moment I stepped inside.
When I moved here from NYC with my then-3-year-old son, I hoped for more space, more light, and a bit more ease. What we found was so much more: a home that held us, gave us room to grow, and offered the kind of calm, comfortable living that city apartments just can’t match. He’s 7 now — thriving, imaginative, and grounded — and I credit this home for giving us the space to really be together. From daily after-dinner dance parties to slow mornings in the sun-soaked kitchen, our life here has been full of connection, warmth, and joy.
As a solo mama, I’ve also found the neighborhood to be incredibly welcoming — diverse, down-to-earth, and full of community spirit. There’s a real sense of support here, from casual waves on the sidewalk to block-wide Halloween celebrations. And the house itself? It’s been a true partner in making life a little smoother — a thoughtfully designed, beautifully flowing space that works hard, so I don’t have to. When every minute matters, it means everything to live in a place that just works.
What makes this home special? Everything feels beautifully intentional. It’s turnkey in the truest sense — rare for Maplewood — with a gut renovation that’s both thoughtful and timeless. No projects to take on, no small awkward rooms or spaces, just effortless flow and good energy throughout. The natural light pours in from all sides into all rooms all day long, and the open layout with lofted ceilings makes it feel spacious yet grounding. The primary suite in the attic is my sanctuary, with treetop views and a spa-like en suite that feels like a retreat.
There’s a bathroom on every floor, smart Nest-controlled HVAC for year-round comfort, and a lush garden with blooming Pear trees and fragrant Lilac shrubs that make spring and summer truly sing.
Outside the front door, the neighborhood has been everything I hoped for — and more. Porchfest, casual chats with neighbors on walks to the Maplewood Skate Park, Hilton Library, or Maplecrest playground. We’re a quick walk to Artie’s, Perla, and a skip to both Tuscan and Seth Boyden elementary schools. Everything you need is within reach, yet the pace of life feels just right.
I hope you feel the same warmth and sense of possibility here that I have. This house has been a gift to us — a beautiful and special place to land, to breathe, and to build magical forever memories.
Warmly,
Evie + Enzo
