Storybook Cottage set in your own Secret Garden. Once the 1928 carriage house of the historic Krueger estate in Llewellyn Park, this hidden gem from a bygone era survives on 3/4 acre of its own secluded grounds. This serene retreat is perfect for those who appreciate hand-crafted beauty, this is a jewel box of hand-stuccoed walls, slate roof with peaked rooflines, leaded glass casement windows, copper gutters and more. They don't build homes like this anymore, this beauty is one of a kind, a home like no other. Gorgeous light streams in through the numerous strategically placed windows. A true chef's kitchen (current owner a CIA grad) features a vintage Chambers stove, new quartz counters, stainless refrigerator and dishwasher. Original architectural elements intact, modern amenities and plenty of storage provide ease of living. An entertainer's showpiece, perfect for throwing lavish parties, intimate dinners, or large al fresco gatherings on the 2 patios; 1 set in an intimate garden with a koi pond, the other overlooking a deep park-like property that is a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Private bedrooms tucked away from public space upstairs exude character as well. A large bonus room with outdoor entry allows uses only limited by your imagination, and expansion potential abounds. All this in West Orange, with excellent schools, nearby shopping, entertainment, fine dining, recreation, the arts, major roads, and free jitney to the Midtown Direct NYC train. Low taxes.
