Dear Future Homeowners of
212 Montague Place

Thank you for taking the time to look at our home. Montague Place and the South Orange / Maplewood community has been a welcoming and beautiful place to raise our children.

This lovely neighborhood has been perfect for us for so many reasons. From annual block parties, impromptu backyard BBQs, kids playing freely all over the neighborhood, to cozy nights by the fireplace or evenings on the screened-in porch. We’ve found the neighborhood a diverse and welcoming place where every family gets along and is always willing to lend a hand.

The location is an easy walk to the train without the crowd and parking issues of being in the village. It makes for an easy commute into the city, but in the new normal there is also space for two private offices at home. Nearly everything South Orange has to offer is an easy walk – local restaurants and bars, coffee shops, groceries, parks, and the highlight of the summer, the town pool!

Our large backyard has been the site of many games of tag, baseball practice, water balloon fights, BBQs, and just serene relaxation watching the sunset over the trees. We have loved every moment living here and have made so many memories for our young family. We truly hope this home with its open and bright spaces, charm, character, and detail, is as special to you as it has been to us.

From the Current Homeowners of 212 Montague Place.

Floor Plan

Living Room

“The generous living room, with a wood-burning fireplace, is the center of our home. Whether it's Friday night family movies or entertaining friends, this is our go-to spot!”

As you enter this charming example of Maplewood chic, you step into the spacious living room. Flooded with light, this room hits the perfect balance of form and function with eye-catching, hand crafted built-in storage, a working fireplace and an open staircase. This is the perfect spot to nestle by the fire on a cold winter’s day or to sit with a book and be surrounded by the cheerful noise of kids playing in the front and back yards.

Dining Area

The perfect place to host holidays and celebrations, filled with light and convenient to both the kitchen and living room.

Spacious and light filled, the dining room is the perfect spot for a classy dinner for 8 or a quick meal for 2. With hardwood floors and unique board & batten, this room feels classy without being overbearing. Smartly attached to the kitchen, entertaining is easy and the windows on two sides keep this bright and cheery. You’ll want to throw a dinner party before all your boxes are unpacked!

Kitchen

“Perfectly situated for meals in the dining room or entertaining in the backyard!”

Continuing the house’s theme of “Windows! Windows! Windows!”, this oversized kitchen has windows looking out on both the side and backyards. With an eclectic mix of new and classic appliances the home chef will have plenty of workspace to whip up culinary masterpieces. With easy access to the mudroom and a door to the deck, it's easy to imagine kids running in for a quick snack and also easily hosting the neighbors for al fresco dining on the platform deck that overlooks the backyard.

Primary Bedroom

“Calm and serene this bedroom also has the most amazing morning sunrises!”

This large bedroom is the oasis you’ve been dreaming of. With amazing, you guessed it, light, you will be hard pressed to find a better space to enjoy your morning coffee. Hardwood floors and large windows make this a classy and inviting space to enjoy a little light reading at bedtime or yoga in the morning bathed in golden sunlight.

Bedrooms

The two additional bedrooms on the second floor offer tons of natural light and easy proximity to the hall bathroom. Plenty of space is available for guests or kids and no one will feel like they got the short end of the stick in these classy, well maintained spaces.

Other Spaces

“Our private office space on the third floor has been invaluable the past year.”

This home features a beautiful bonus room that is so ubiquitous in Maplewood we call them Maplewood rooms! Use it as an office, playroom, or cocktail lounge; your needs dictate the usage of this beautiful light filled space. With a door leading to a three season screened-in porch, this home is unique in its entertainment options.

Outdoor Space

“So much green space!!!!! We love spending time out here year round, from grilling in the summer to building snow forts in the winter, it's the perfect backyard!”

When you show your friends from Brooklyn pics of the house you just bought in South Orange, you may want to lead with pictures of the outdoor spaces of this home! In addition to the screened in porch, you have two tiers of platform decking and a large flat backyard. Whether your dream is to see a gaggle of kids frolicking out here or a much more grown up crowd enjoying some sun soaking time, both of these and more are possible in this backyard. To be so close to town and have access to this amazing yard is truly the suburban dream.
