This warm and inviting Colonial sits on a quiet, tree-lined street and welcomes you with a charming covered front porch - the perfect spot for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. Inside, this home offers a comfortable and connected layout, with hardwood floors and central air throughout. The living room flows into a formal dining room with plenty of space to gather. A powder room is tucked away for added convenience. The spacious eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet storage, with direct access to a large deck overlooking the deep backyard. A large storage shed adds even more utility. Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms with ample closet space and a full bathroom. The unfinished basement includes laundry and provides great space for storage. Perfectly situated between the downtowns of South Orange and Maplewood, this location offers the best of both - restaurants, shopping, parks, top-rated schools, and a vibrant community feel. Just 0.7 miles to the South Orange train station and downtown, with easy access to South Mountain Reservation, major highways, and Newark Airport.
