Inside, rich hardwood floors and beautifully balanced spaces create a warm yet refined aesthetic. The sun-drenched maplewood room offers the perfect flex space for a home office, toy room, or lounge, with seamless access to a private stone patio and backyard, designed for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining. The spacious designer primary suite offers a true retreat with an en-suite bath, and the third floor adds two additional bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests, creative space, or work-from-home flexibility. A rare blend of timeless architecture and magazine-worthy design, this home offers a turnkey lifestyle in one of South Orange’s most sought-after neighborhoods."
