About this home
RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a solidly built home with unique character, all around brick/masonry construction, a new roof, generous living space, and a PRIME LOCATION!! Originally built in 1957 as a custom split-level residence for a prominent local family, this home showcases distinctive architectural design paired with solid all-brick and masonry construction built to last. Lovingly cared for by only its second owner, the property is well maintained with everything in excellent working condition. Offering approximately 2, 600 SF of living space plus a large semi-finished basement of 1200 SF. A dramatic double-height entry and grand living area set the tone, filled with natural light from expansive windows that surround the main living and dining spaces. The eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry, abundant storage, and generous counter space. Fully enclosed Florida room opens to an additional terrace and leveled backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, the home offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a large primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath. The lower level provides incredible flexibility with a living room complete with a full-height brick wood-burning fireplace, a bar area, a full bathroom, and an additional bonus room that can serve as a guest bedroom or office. This level also offers direct access to the one-car garage. The basement adds even more usable space, offering approximately 1, 200 SF with laundry, multiple storage areas and potential for recreation, gym, or future finishing. Set on a 0.28-acre corner lot in one of South River's most established, quiet, and tree-lined neighborhoods. The home also offers peace of mind with its elevated position, having remained completely dry during major storms in 2012. Conveniently located near Main Street, shopping, and local amenities, the property also offers excellent commuter access, with a short walk to the NYC bus and just a 15-minute drive to the South Amboy ferry to Wall Street.
