In July 2006, 79 Ridgewood Ave. in Glen Ridge sold for $1,215,000. Fully made over, the circa 1897 Victorian on almost an acre of land was renovated, gussied up (they don't tear down homes in Glen Ridge) and put back on the market in 2007 for $2,295,000. The house is described here...
"Wistful Vista" sits on a spectacular property with a broad sweep of lawn, trees, old fashioned flower beds, and a secret path to the Freeman Rose Garden & has been completely restored and renovated.

It's somewhat before even my time, but I assume the address number of 79 Ridgewood Avenue led to the "Wistful Vista" tag. Now, if it also happens that the seller is surnamed McGee.....
