Welcome to this stunningly renovated turn of the century South Orange home, just moments from downtown village shops, cafes, and restaurants and a commuter's dream with the NYC direct train nearby.

The inviting front porch is perfect for lounging, chatting with neighbors, and watching the world go by.
