Key Facts
Description
Coming Soon-Showings Start 7/15/26-Calling all investors, renovators, and visionaries! Rare opportunity to own a two-family property with highly sought-after off-street parking, featuring a private driveway and detached garage--an exceptional find in this area. This property is ready for a complete transformation and offers endless possibilities to create value. Each spacious unit features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, kitchen, living room, dining room, and front great room, while the second-floor unit also includes a dedicated office. A full walk-up attic on the third level provides excellent expansion potential (subject to approvals), and the walk-out basement offers additional flexibility. The generous backyard adds even more possibilities for outdoor enjoyment. Whether you're looking to renovate and occupy one unit while renting the other, maximize rental income, or add a standout property to your investment portfolio, this hidden gem is brimming with potential. Adding to its appeal, the neighboring properties on both sides have recently been purchased and are being renovated, reflecting continued reinvestment in the area. Ideally located in Perth Amboy, the "City by the Bay," just moments from the waterfront, shopping, dining, public transportation, and major commuter routes.
