Handsome custom-built Colonial in desirable Forest Hill. This solid & unique home was once occupied by a former Mayor of Newark, Charles P. Gillen, as he became City Commissioner.

The three exposure living room, beamed and trimmed ceiling, southern facing sun porch, built-ins, dining room with fireplace, french doors, leaded and stained glass trimmed windows, plus elaborate crown moldings - showcase a skilled architect's design. A large kitchen that needs complete updating has endless possibilities.

Restoration work is needed by an historically minded buyer, which can result in a strikingly impressive house and property. Exterior changes require City approval.
