Welcome home to this beautifully renovated Victorian-style home in East Orange's sought-after Presidential Estates. Original 1925 character meets modern updates in this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with 1,931 square feet of living space. The 2018 renovation brought a white shaker kitchen with granite counters and updated flooring throughout. Bay windows fill the rooms with natural light, and the third-floor bedroom offers a private walk-in closet and en-suite bath. A full unfinished basement offers generous storage and room to finish for a rec room, office, or gym. Outside, enjoy the covered front porch and fenced front yard. Commuters will love the convenience of nearby train stations with direct NJ Transit service to Penn Station. Rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home on one of the area's most established blocks.
Presidential Estates, located between Interstate 280 and the South Orange border, is a residential and commuter-friendly East Orange neighborhood with leafy side streets and quick rail connections. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Brick Church Station area, where a steady flow of riders, corner storefronts, and bus stops sets an urban cadence. Housing leans toward mid-century apartment buildings and brick multifamily homes, with pockets of older colonials on quieter blocks. Brick Church Station anchors daily routines with NJ Transit service into Newark and Manhattan. Nearby, the Paul Robeson Stadium complex and Elmwood Park add open-air breathing room for walks and pickup games. A short ride away, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Newark Museum of Art broaden the cultural calendar.
