Dear Prospective Homeowner,

Welcome to our beautifully preserved century-old home, perfectly located just a short walk from downtown South Orange, where you’ll find a variety of restaurants, dry cleaners, coffee shops and a gourmet market. The South Orange train station offers a quick commute to NYC and is easily accessible.

Our home boasts five spacious bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths, providing ample space for family and guests as well as options for a home office. Sunlight pours into the generously sized rooms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Our home’s layout is thoughtfully designed, accommodating both group gatherings and private time. The multiple family rooms, along with the basement areas, provided versatile spaces for our children to play and as teens to hang out with their friends.

The backyard deck offers an ideal setting for year round use of the barbecue, dining, and unwinding. We found it to be our own private retreat—with a large, level backyard surrounded by mature trees and beautiful landscaped garden beds that flower throughout the year. This serene space was perfect for relaxation and also recreation, with plenty of room for a playset, a cozy fire pit, or a place to kick or toss a ball. Our family and friends spent many hours socializing here.

Having lived in this home for nearly 25 years we have kept it meticulously maintained. We recently updated the kitchen with new appliances and quiet-close cabinets. We also installed a new roof, and updated electrical wiring ensuring this home is move-in ready. With only five owners in its rich history, this house has been lovingly cared for and is ready to welcome its next family.

The location of our home is truly exceptional. Our children enjoyed the independence of walking or biking to nearby schools, friends’ houses, or into town for pizza and ice cream. Outdoor enthusiasts, as we are, will appreciate the proximity to Flood’s Hill and Memorial Park. Both offer amenities such as tennis and pickleball courts, ball fields, a playground, a community pool, and the picturesque Duck Pond—perfect for year-round recreation. Flood’s Hill, where our family has many fond memories, is also renowned for its winter sledding and summer concerts, making it a popular palace for community activity. The house is also a short distance to South Mountain Reservation, with hiking trails, dog parks, and recreation areas.

For arts and culture enthusiasts, the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) is a local gem. This venue hosts a variety of live performances, including music, theater, dance, and comedy shows. In addition, SOPAC houses a five-screen movie theater. The convenience of having this only a short distance from our house allowed our family access to many cultural activities.

3 Glenside is perfectly located on a dead end road with neighbors that make up a close-knit community. Many residents have lived here for years, and the block is home to over 20 school-aged children. We have a neighborhood group text, which serves as a resource for sharing advice, recommendations, information on local events, or even borrowing a stick of butter. Each fall, the street comes alive with a large block party that lasts from afternoon into the night, featuring face painting, a bouncy house, an ice cream truck,
and delicious food provided by all.

Our home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern updates in an unbeatable location with an amazing community—an opportunity not to be missed!

Warmly,
The current homeowners
