231 Prospect Street-UNDER CONTRACT


RARE 2013 NEW BUILD on ALMOST 1/2 ACRE! Beautifully built and maintained home in the heart of South Orange, just a 0.5-mile stroll to downtown and train to NYC! Step through the front door from your massive wrap around porch, into a light-filled first floor featuring timeless millwork, modern details, and oversized windows. The gourmet kitchen, with Thermador appliances, extra dishwasher, wine fridge, and massive pantry, flows seamlessly into the open yet distinct living, dining, and family rooms—perfect for everyday living and entertaining.


On the second floor, four generously sized bedrooms and a luxurious hall bath await. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with Juliette balcony, walk-in closet, and spa-like bathroom with soaking tub and spacious shower. The second-floor laundry room adds to the home’s convenience.


The third floor lives like a private suite, ideal for guests, a home office, or au pair suite, complete with two bedrooms, another full bath, and additional storage space. The large finished basement, with walkout to the backyard and access to the giant two car garage, provides flexible space for a home gym, recreation room, or additional living area, plus another full bath.


The incredibly expansive backyard, with large Trex deck, offers plenty of room to relax and entertain. This almost half acre of land gives the next owner the chance to build a pool, a future ADU, or even the possibility of sub-dividing the property.  Don't miss this rare opportunity!
