Historic Soul meets Modern Possibilities in Montrose: Welcome to 311 Centre Street where timeless architecture meets today's lifestyle. Set on over half an acre in South Orange's sought-after Historic Montrose, this 5BR/3BA home blends vintage character with fresh updates and room to dream. Inside, you'll find 12 spacious rooms, sky-high ceilings, and six original fireplaces (two working!), all freshly painted with newly refinished hardwood floors. Updated central air keeps things cool, and the expansive walk-up attic and 2-car detached garage with loft offer future potential for home offices, guest suites, or creative studios.Step outside and discover your own secret garden oasis designed by a certified Master Gardener and complete with a state-of-the-art in-ground drip irrigation system. Think: 150+ year-old cherry tree, figs, antique apples, grapevines, and hundreds of curated blooms. Bonus: there's space beyond the orchard for a pool, pickleball court, or outdoor lounge. Blocks from vibrant South Orange Village, parks, shops, dining, and Midtown Direct trains to NYC + Hoboken, this is more than a home. It's a rare chance to design your future in a place with real history and heart.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
