Welcome home to this renovated mid-century modern 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath ranch in South Orange's desirable Newstead neighborhood. Set on a private, fully fenced .63-acre lot, this distinctive home blends architectural character with spacious, sun-filled rooms. The backyard offers a serene retreat with a large deck, lawn, native plantings, and wooded path. Inside, the foyer makes a memorable first impression with a soaring vaulted ceiling, skylight, and colorful powder room. Generous open living and dining rooms connect around a grand stone wood-burning fireplace, while oversized picture windows frame backyard views and bring the outdoors in. The eat-in kitchen features new quartz countertops, new under-mount sink, and tile backsplash. The bright family room offers excellent flexible use space. By the foyer, two bedrooms share an updated Jack-and-Jill bath. Just beyond, the primary suite is a restful retreat with peaceful backyard views and a spa-like bath with a vaulted ceiling, skylight, stall shower and jetted tub. Added features include central air, wood floors, recessed LED lighting, thermal windows, first-floor laundry/pantry, built-in speakers, sprinkler system, attached 2-car garage, and walk-up attic storage with future finishing potential. A partially finished basement with new vinyl tile flooring provides additional space for an office, media or exercise room. Enjoy quick access to the NYC train jitney one block away and nearby trails at the South Mountain Reservation.
