A rare opportunity to reimagine a stately South Orange residence and restore its timeless elegance for generations to come. Set high above an expansive lawn on approximately .86 acres overlooking Flood's Hill, this distinguished 6-bedroom, 3.1 bath Colonial offers gracious proportions, period details and an exceptional setting. An inviting foyer opens to an oversized living room featuring a striking neoclassical marble wood burning fireplace, complimented by an office and leisure room with bar. The formal dining room, enhanced by a pair of built-in alcoves, is well suited for gatherings. The breakfast room captures views of the great lawn, and a three season screened porch extends the living space. A powder room and charming vintage telephone room complete the main level. The staircase landing is illuminated by a beautiful stained-glass window. The second floor offers three generous bedrooms, hall bath and a primary suite with fireplace, walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, flex space and storage occupy the third floor. The partially finished basement provides laundry, storage and recreation possibilities with access to the two-car garage. Mature grounds and in-ground pool create a private setting with room to personalize. Across from Flood's Hill and within easy reach to downtown South Orange, its shops, dining, and NYC train service, this residence awaits its next steward to thoughtfully update, preserve and enjoy for years to come.
