HIGHLIGHTS
Beautiful colonial built in 1928, has been completely remodeled by a top NJ builder/designer in 2022/23 with high-quality finishes, superior craftsmanship, and smart home upgrades, all while preserving the original character of the home. Construction completion is set for August 2023. Buyer can select finishes if under contract in near future. More photos coming soon!
Located on an idyllic street where neighbors stroll and children play, this picturesque home is a short distance from the towns’ quaint shops, Farrell Field Park, and South Mountain primary school playground. The central location means it’s a mile or less to South Orange & Maplewood NJ transit stations, South Orange Village, and Maplewood Village.
With thoughtful and functional updates, the entire first floor has been reconfigured to create a large kitchen with island seating for four, separate dining area, and sliding glass door which opens to the deck. An oversized entryway connects the kitchen to the spacious family room with a wood/gas fireplace and adjoining powder room. Completing the level is a lovely sun porch with wall-to-wall windows and an oversized skylight, perfect for a home office, den, or plant room.
The renovated second floor boasts three bedrooms including a primary suite with separate bathroom and walk-in closet, and a central hall bathroom with double vanity. The attic’s spacious well lit fourth bedroom with a large casement window and two skylights provides abundant natural light. The fully finished basement features an expansive recreation room, office, laundry room, and half bathroom, while the beautifully landscaped backyard provides a lovely entertaining space for dining or lounging on both the wood deck and bluestone patio.
