About This Home
Easy living & GREAT location for commuting! A rare opportunity to own a fabulous ranch in one of South Orange's most convenient neighborhoods. Just .4 mi to Grove Park, .4 mi to Jackie & Sons and .6 mi to SO train station for mid-town direct service to Penn station. With an open, airy floor plan, central a/c and thoughtful updates throughout, this home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and effortless living. The bright, welcoming main level features hardwood floors, crown moulding, recessed lighting, large windows (sunlight pours in!) and ceiling fans throughout. The beautifully appointed kitchen is the heart of the home with lots of cabinet storage, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an elevated breakfast bar, and under-counter lighting all flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas, making entertaining a joy. There is direct access to the side yard via the stairway to lower level. The finished lower level truly expands the living space, offering a generous recreation area, a custom bar with wine fridge and seating for extra fun, half bath and home office. Outside, enjoy the multiple patio areas that extend your living space in spring, summer and fall. Fully fenced and with the most charming storage shed which could creatively be used for more than just storage, the outdoor space is an ideal setting for relaxing or hosting. An oversized attached one-car garage completes the package. Low taxes too! Welcome home!
