232 Ward Place - UNDER CONTRACT
Dear Future Homeowner,
As real estate professionals who have had the privilege of helping hundreds of people find their way home, we know there is something special about a house that immediately feels warm, comfortable and easy to imagine yourself living in. This beautiful Colonial is exactly that kind of home.
There is so much to love here. The inviting living room with its cozy fireplace and built-ins feels made for quiet nights at home, while the sun-filled front room is the kind of space you can imagine enjoying your morning coffee or curling up with a book. The spacious kitchen and large center island naturally invite everyone to gather, and its connection to the deck and private backyard makes everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. Upstairs, generous bedrooms and a captivating third floor offer wonderful spaces to grow into and make your own.
But part of what makes this home so special is everything that surrounds it.
South Orange is a truly wonderful place to call home - a vibrant, welcoming community where neighbors know one another, kids grow up together, and there is a real sense of connection. From this sweet neighborhood, you are just half a mile from the heart of the Village, where favorite restaurants, local shops, live music, SOPAC and the Midtown Direct train to NYC all become part of everyday life. It is that rare combination of neighborhood warmth, a lively downtown and easy access to the city that makes living here feel so special.
Throughout this digital brochure, we’ve highlighted the details and spaces that make this house wonderful, but we hope as you walk through, you also imagine the life that can happen here - dinners around the island, summer evenings on the deck, cozy nights by the fire, and neighbors who become friends.
We are so grateful for your interest and hope you enjoy discovering this very special home and community.
Warmly,
Denise Payne & Adrianna Donat
