Property Description

Every distinguished home has a story and this one is ready for its next chapter. Restore this South Orange classic to its original grandeur; an extraordinary opportunity to modernize and personalize. Set on an expansive 13,813 square foot lot, across from the beautiful campus of Seton Hall University, this gracious residence offers more than 3,000 square feet of living space, eleven generously proportioned rooms, a welcoming wrap-around front porch, full above-grade finished basement, walk up attic and detached two car garage. Rich in character and timeless architectural appeal the home retains the scale and craftmanship that have made South Orange one of New Jersey's most admired communities. While the property presents an exceptional opportunity for thoughtful renovation, it offers the rare chance to create a truly remarkable residence, tailored to today's lifestyle, while honoring its classic heritage. Whether you are an owner-occupant with a vision for your forever home, or an investor seeking your next signature renovation, opportunities of this size, location and potential are increasingly rare.
