Tucked along a leafy street in South Orange's beloved Village Colonials neighborhood, this just-right 3-bed, 1.2-bath home blends timeless architecture with curated updates ideal for the design-conscious buyer who wants both soul and function. Step inside to find freshly painted interiors, original hardwood floors, and a layout that flows with intention. The living room's wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows set the tone: warm, inviting, and just a little romantic. A sunny den makes the perfect creative studio or WFH setup, with easy access to the lush backyard, deck and patio made for laid-back dinners under the stars. The renovated kitchen strikes a balance between classic and cool, with modern finishes that nod to tradition. Serve meals in the dining room or let them spill onto the patio, this home entertains effortlessly. Upstairs, find 3 generous, light-filled bedrooms, a full bath ready for your design dreams, and walk-in closets for extra ease. Bonus points for attic access to your future reading loft or play space awaits. Downstairs, the finished rec room is perfect for movie nights, music gear, or guest overnights with a 2nd powder room (w/plumbing ready to add the shower). With 2 ductless AC splits, 1-car garage, and a blooming landscaping, this home is equal parts character, comfort, and potential just 7/10 of a mile from the train, town, cafes and culture.
