About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled on expansive, picturesque grounds spanning 1.57 acres, this classic 1942 New England Cape blends charm, character, and thoughtful updates. Set back from the road, the deep front lawn and tree-lined backyard provide a serene retreat while maintaining easy access to local amenities. Inside, warm parquet hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and elegant millwork highlight the home's timeless appeal. The inviting living room features a fireplace with a distinctive mantel and built-in bookshelves that seamlessly flow into the formal dining room, accented with a built-in corner hutch and chair rail detailing. The updated kitchen boasts soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and a sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the peaceful backyard. A few steps down, the cozy family room with a bay window offers a comfortable gathering space, with a nearby half bath for added convenience. Upstairs, each of the 3 bedrooms showcase the quintessential gable dormer windows of a traditional Cape. The primary bedroom enjoys scenic front and backyard views, while the guest bedroom features its own private full bath. The 3rd bedroom overlooks the expansive front lawn, and a 2nd full bath completes this level. With an attached one-car garage, ample storage, and a sought-after location in Orange, this home is part of the award-winning Amity Regional school system. A wonderful opportunity to own a classic New England home in Orange. Highest & Best Offers are due by 3PM 3/28/2025
