Description
Fall in love the moment you arrive. From the welcoming front porch ideal for morning coffee or cool summer evenings to the deep, park-like backyard nearly 200 feet deep, this charming Cape Cod in West Orange's sought-after Gregory section offers the space and warmth today's buyers crave. Inside, classic details create an easy sense of home. Ribboned hardwood floors flow throughout, and the living room is centered around a beautiful wood-burning fireplace that adds character and cozy ambiance. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout offers comfort and flexibility for guests, a home office, or everyday living.The well-maintained galley kitchen is functional and inviting, with great potential to personalize over time. The full walk-out basement is fresh and clean, offering excellent bonus space for a home gym, playroom, or additional living area. Outside, the private backyard feels more like a park than a typical suburban lot perfect for play, gardening, entertaining, or future expansion. A detached one-car garage adds storage and convenience. Close to NYC transportation with nearby train access and a weekday jitney, plus easy access to schools, shopping, and houses of worship, this home blends charm, location, and opportunity in one inviting package.
