South Orange Village Twp., NJ 07079

Own a slice of South Orange history with this unique 1804-1806 home in the Historic Montrose section. This magnificent home has 12 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and just had its floors refinished & rooms freshly painted. The rooms are generally very spacious with the benefit of being cooled by CAC. There are a total of 6 fireplaces (2 are functioning) adding character to each room. The "5 bay" structure consists of a main block that features a wood shingle-clad, side gable roof, end chimneys, two gabled dormers flanking the centered gabled wall dormer and paired pier-supported, flat-roofed porticos. Many additional architectural details that make this home very unique. The grounds are equally impressive as they are just over one-half acre and include a 150+ year old cherry tree, a fig tree, sweet grape vine, a varied array of roses, and many other blooms. The property is much larger than it first appears, as there is a large section beyond the middle fruit tree grove that is perfect for a potential pool, tennis or pickle court and so much more. Additionally, there is a 2-car detached garage with loft storage and a huge "finish-able" attic space accessed via its own staircase. This home can be your private sanctuary, yet it's less than a mile to South Orange's thriving Village, with shopping, dining & NYC trains.
