About this home
A rare offering in the desirable Fords section of Woodbridge Township, this custom all-brick legal two-family residence presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, owner-occupants seeking to live in one residence while generating income from the other, or those desiring flexible multi-generational living. The property is configured with one residence on the first floor and another full residence on the second floor, each offering a complete and private living space. Each well-appointed residence features sun-filled living spaces, including a comfortable family room, two spacious bedrooms, full bath, and a generously sized eat-in kitchen. Freshly painted interiors and hardwood flooring create a bright and inviting atmosphere. The first-floor residence enjoys direct access to an expansive full-length basement, complete with a laundry area, workshop room and a substantial open area providing flexibility for a variety of uses. The second-floor residence offers the added convenience of a private rear entrance, enhancing privacy and functionality. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a rear covered porch overlooking a serene, oversized backyard, an ideal setting for relaxation or entertaining. Ideally located just minutes from the conveniences of downtown Fords, nearby restaurants and shopping centers. Access to major commuter routes including the NJ Turnpike, GSP and I-287.
