The open concept 1st floor features an updated kitchen, dining area, and living room that artfully blends period details with a modern aesthetic. An inviting entryway and separate bonus room round out the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has a full bathroom and 3 bedrooms with 1 being a captured/railroad style room, currently used as an office. The pull down attic is finished & drywalled & can potentially be converted into livable space. The full basement is great for storage and features laundry & a half bathroom. This home has off-street parking for 3 cars (a big deal in SO Village where permits are needed for overnight parking). It has a fully fenced in backyard to enjoy the fresh air & greenery. It's 0.6 mile to the nearest train station to NYC! On Valley St, you'll find a daycare, restaurants, Stop & Shop, Buyrite Wine. Founders park & Columbia high school are just blocks away. Within a mile in either direction, you can get to downtown South Orange or downtown Maplewood.
