407 Wilden South Orange



407 Wilden South orange
List: 399,00
Estimated Sell: $350,000

This house sneeded alot of work starting with the carpets. The Kitchen had an awkward addition and the layout made no sense. All the walls need to redone and repainted.
I am not familiar with South orange but I was told the section is not the best

Price: 899,000
Estimated Sell: 800,00

This house is crazy.Its huge and the lay out is confusing. This house has been on the market before and has had a few price reductions.
EVERYTHING in this house needs to be gut renovated and the house is so huge you that it would cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars and thats doing it cheap.
As I was walking down the staircase the railing fell off..

The location of this house is perfect. The kitchen is nicely updated and the house has just been painted through out. The master suite has a new bathroom and dressing area which is a nice feature. There is a finished basement that is beautiful and would be a perfect playroom becasue it feels like an extension of the house rather than a basement

Nice house but small. The deal breaker in this house is the extra room in the attic. The stairs are so steep that they are almost impossible to walk up. Kitchen is updated and nice but gives teh feel of a galley kitchen. It opens up nicelt into a small breakfast area

22 Sunset Terr: Street name, Location, Street name


22 Sunset Terrace
Price: 559000
Bed: 4 (?)
Rooms: 7
Attic: Yes finished
Basement: clean and unfinished

Remarks: Street name, Location, Street name
The name of the post says it all. Who doesn't want to live on Sunset Terrace? The house is close to town..but up two steep hills. oh wait..who WOULDNT want to live on a sunset terrace?

This house is great for the first time home buyer moving from NY. Its in a beautiful area off of Wyoming on a quiet adorable street close to Maplewood Village.
This house has it all for the first timer. Large flat back yard. Its impressive from the outside with the beautiful front porch. Its on a beautiful street and shows larger than it is.
All three bedrooms are a nice size but not big.
Kitchen is updated with a small eat in breakfast bar that seats 3..not large but functional. There is a powder room off the kitchen that is small. It seems more like a bathroom mandatory in a Chinese take out restaurant than a powder room(my comment : change sink) .. but an added bonus since it is the only bathroom on the first floor.
MLS shows this house as having 4 bedrooms but I have to disagree. I don't count a thatched attic space as a bedroom but more of a bonus room..office or den.
