Orchard Road is one of the most picturesque streets with walk-ability to campus. 436 Orchard Road is a classic brick colonial, built in 1943, with many original features and built-ins throughout. Step in through the front door to a large living room complete with real wood paneling along one wall, built-in shelving along another, and a wood-burning fireplace. The original hardwood floors extend from the living room into the dining room, which offers more built-in cabinetry, and is open-concept to the updated kitchen. The kitchen is complete with a gas-burning range, granite counters, and updated cabinetry. There is a large rear family room, again with more built-ins, that is flooded with natural light. It is accessed through both the kitchen and the living room, with a convenient 1/2 bathroom tucked off to the side between the family room and kitchen. The second floor is comprised of a large primary bedroom, boasting three large closets, and two supplementary bedrooms that are well-scaled. All three bedrooms have re-finished original hardwood flooring and recessed lighting. An updated hall bathroom with a modern, tiled, stand-up shower and slate tile floor completes the upper level. There is also a large basement with two multipurpose rooms and a full bathroom - no shortage of space! All of this on a 1/3 of an acre lot with mature trees, a deep (and private) rear yard, and a rear paver patio. This home was most recently rented out for just under $4,000/month, and currently has an active 3-person rental permit in the City of Newark. Either add your finishing touches to call this classic residence your HOME or continue to lease it out as an INVESTMENT, either way you can't go wrong!
