About This Home

City Vibes, Suburban Space.This isn't your cookie-cutter colonial. A gut-renovated South Orange classic with major curb appeal, this 6BR stone-front stunner mixes timeless architecture with a fresh, modern edge. Tucked on a tree-lined block less than a mile from the South Orange train and downtown (coffee, cocktails, and culture all within walking distance), it's the perfect landing spot when you're ready to swap your city apartment for real square footage. Inside, it's all flow. The open-concept first floor serves up effortless living and entertaining with a sun-drenched living room, sleek dining space, and chill family room all circling a chef's kitchen that actually inspires cooking. Think quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island made for cocktail prep or homework. Bonus: the two-car attached garage connects right to the kitchen, so schlepping groceries is a breeze- a rarity in SOMA.Upstairs? Four generous bedrooms, two full baths, and a primary suite that feels like a boutique hotel spa-style bath included. The third floor is your flex zone: en suite guest retreat, or WFH haven. Laundry's up there too for your convenience. Need even more space? The finished basement rec room has nice ceiling height, plus a full bath and bedroom.Out back, there's space to breathe. A deep yard, paver patio, and storage shed for all your gear. New systems, new roof, central air. No projects just move in, throw a party, and let your city friends come to you.
