South Orange NJ Real Estate & Homes for Sale

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fine Red Wine tastes better with age because of a complex chemical reaction. A fine home can also improve with age given the proper reaction of improvement, maintenance and devotion. Welcome to the refined 247 S. Ridgewood Road. This stunning Center Hall Colonial boasts over 3,000 square feet spread across four floors of finished living space consisting of 5 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms, the Living Room, the Formal Dining Room, the renovated Kitchen, Office and the attached 2 car oversized garage. As you enter this graceful residence, you first walk into the bright and welcoming Foyer with its marble lined flooring and double mirrored coat closets. The first floor is a balanced semi-open concept layout with easy flow throughout. On one side, you have the Office/Den with French door access to a cozy porch, perfect for relaxation and meditation. Moving proximally, there is the large Living room with a working wood-burning fireplace and full room track lighting. As you cross the ample, Crystal chandelier hung center hall, you enter the Formal Dining Room. It is adorned with a second Crystal chandelier, detail rich dining room furniture and double corner hutches. The dining room opens up to the capacious and beautifully renovated kitchen (2016), the heart of the home. The abundant high end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and skylight above with all the gorgeous marble flooring below seamlessly revolve around the massive 10 foot stretch of sparkling white Quartz center island and countertops. It is as aesthetically attractive as it is functional. The second and third floor comprises the 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The master suite is spacious and the ensuite elegant with its marble layout and relaxing jetted tub. The finished basement is laid with marble flooring, a floor to ceiling marble powder room, laundry room and plenty of storage. There is an attached 2 car over-sized and finished garage with heating and extra storage above. All the flooring throughout the home is professionally restored original hardwood and dazzling marble. There is new ductless mini-split systems (2021) in every room throughout the house for individualized, effective, efficient heating and cooling. The outdoor oasis is an entertainerâs dream. The well manicured grounds sit on a tree lined neighborhood and offers privacy fencing and paved backyard for a splendid and low maintenance area for all your outdoor activities. There is so much serenity in the grand, custom built waterfall and pond filled with dozens of lively Koi. There is a polycarbonate Gazebo with a nearly immovable triangular cut of solid granite as its center piece, a shed for even more storage and parking for 8+ vehicles. The only other feature conceivably as important as the house itself is its central location. This home is merely blocks away from the South Orange Train Station with service to Midtown, buses and major highways. It is also just minutes to the fantastic restaurants, shops and social downtown. You are cordially invited to come and visit this age-improved home and experience all it has to offer both in and outside its walls. Do not miss the opportunity to make this house your residence and South Orange Village, your community.
