155 Ward Place
Dear Future Homeowners,
Dear Future Homeowner,
Welcome to 155 Ward Place! In the past several years, our family has grown, and we have spent countless hours talking, laughing, and playing within these four walls.
We hope that you will love the flowing space from 155 Ward’s foyer into the heart of the home: the luxurious, yet bright and welcoming kitchen. The flexible home design provides ample privacy and space for guests, whether it be in the unique telephone booth shower or upstairs in the cozy carpeted third floor attic. We hope that you will appreciate as much as we have the distinctive characteristics of the home. From the special stained glass window, to the rolling farmhouse door, to the nursery conveniently located in the primary suite, 155 Ward Place is a home that has beauty, character, and thoughtfulness. The finished basement is a fabulous spot to relax, get creative in the play spaces, or take your daily exercise break.
We hope that you can imagine yourself easily walking to downtown South Orange, running errands, catching the train, or taking the short drive to meet friends in Maplewood, as we always have. Please take a moment to visualize yourself barbequing on the deck after returning home from Grove Park playground- trust us, it makes for great weekend summer afternoons!
But most of all, we hope that 155 Ward Place puts a smile on your face, as it has for us at the end of each day. And most importantly, that it will put a smile on the faces of those you love!
Warmly,
The Redler-Sodhi Family
