"While we do have the quintessential "lemonade" porch to potentially set the tone, we didn't think that would be enough, so we hired an ice cream truck to allow buyers to cool off. But not any ice cream truck! We hired Urban Cone to join us. Their motto is 'Uniting the culture and overcoming societal obstacles one cone at a time.' So there is an amazing message to accompany their ice cream cones, which makes me even happier to be able to provide," says Mark Slade of The Mark Slade Homes Team at Keller Williams.
The first 60 attendees and/or neighbors, will receive a complementary ice cream cone, courtesy of The Slade Team.

And lest anyone forget, there is an amazing home with a wonderful history that is being offered at $699,000.
This isn’t just any house, this is a home with an amazing pedigree. Upon arriving, you will be greeted by a wonderful front porch where you can relax and rejuvenate while being able to partake in a glass of lemonade or an adult beverage when the occasion permits.
When this home was originally built in 1884, it was constructed as a farmhouse for an apple orchard. While apple picking is no longer part of the equation, this Victorian does continue its farm-to-table legacy by offering a mint garden with lemon balm and spearmint growing for your mint juleps, mojitos and/or cooking needs.
The main level features large windows with an abundance of sun light. The room flow includes a wonderful hall entrance, a large L-shaped living room, as well as a formal dining room and an updated kitchen with a doorway to the back deck that then allows access to a patio and wonderfully large back yard.
As you head upstairs to the bedroom levels, you will find one of the more special features of this home as there was an addition of an art studio added in 1940's which is now currently used as a sun-drenched large family room. There is also a unique space above the family room that is bonus room.
For restful slumber, there are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the two upper most floors with potential to add a 3rd full bath on the third floor or to reconfigure the space on the 2nd level to create an owner’s suite.
The property is conveniently located 7/10’s of a mile to Maplewood’s NJ Transit Train station with trains to NYC and Hoboken as well as offering you access to Maplewood’s Award Winning Downtown Village with multiple restaurants, Starbucks, shopping and so much more.

A picturesque town in Essex County, Maplewood is located on the East Branch of the Rahway River. Originally consisting of farms, mills and orchards, Maplewood is now a great mix of residential and commercial areas, culminating in the jewel of a downtown village and coming together to create a charming, tight-knit and diversified community. Maplewood has predominantly Colonial and Tudor style homes with sprawling porches and ample greenery, but you can also find some Victorians and a range of more modern style construction on its beautiful tree lined streets.
Maplewood is a diverse town with 6 elementary schools and prominent municipal building designed by famous architects, Guilbert and Betelle. In the center of town, famed landscape architects, the Olmstead Brothers, created the breathtaking Memorial Park; not to be overlooked is Ricalton Square, nestled between the train station and the downtown shopping; this area is frequently used for events including a Halloween Parade with hayrides and petting zoos, as well as featuring replica homes during the Winter Holiday Season. The town offers many activities to its residents from camps in the summer, arts and crafts classes, a public pool (with 4 pools ranging from a “baby” pool to toddler pool to large lap pool and a diving tank) and a farmers market when in season. There is even an annual musicalpalooza--Maplewoodstock—featuring a variety of bands and musical styles, showcasing local and national bands with booths for local businesses to set up.
The Village, also known as Maplewood Center, is a quaint, downtown shopping district with everything from restaurants with foods from all over the world, bakeries, dance studios, gyms, bookstores, a movie theater and bookstores. With its large variety of cuisines to choose from, Maplewood recently started a yearly town-wide Restaurant Week with over 30 eateries participating.
Easily accessible by its throughways and the New Jersey Transit, it's no surprise Maplewood has been ranked several times as one of the most desirable places to live in America by a number of surveys.
