About this home

Welcome to 185 Washington Avenue! Situated on a spacious corner property, this unique 2-story home offers 3, 194 square feet of living space, eight bedrooms, and a versatile floor plan with plenty of room to spread out! The original front portion of the home, dating back to approximately 1912, includes the living room and adjoining room. These inviting spaces feature built-in wood cabinetry that adds warmth, character, and charm. Expanded over the years, the home combines its early architectural character with additional living space. An expansion around the 1950s added the first-floor kitchen, several second-floor bedrooms, and an upstairs bathroom. A later addition around 2006 introduced three first-floor bedrooms, creating a convenient layout with three bedrooms on the main level and additional bedrooms upstairs. The first floor features a comfortable living room, dining area with built-in cabinetry, and a spacious kitchen offering white cabinetry, tile countertops and backsplash, breakfast bar, and recessed lighting. Sliding glass doors provide access to a covered outdoor area. One of the first-floor bedrooms features a generous spacious closet, while a full bathroom serves the main level. Upstairs, you'll find five bedrooms, a second full bathroom, a convenient laundry room, additional closet space, and access to a second-floor balcony. An additional exterior entrance provides convenient access to the second floor. Generously sized rooms, natural light, and a combination of hardwood flooring and carpeting add to the home's character. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard with mature shade trees, a storage shed, welcoming covered front porch, and covered patio area. The corner property features a circular driveway, an additional concrete driveway, and plenty of off-street parking. Additional highlights include a two-zone heating system and a furnace and water heater replaced in 2026. With its generous living space, flexible layout, historic character, multiple additions, and abundant parking, this property offers a wonderful opportunity for buyers seeking space, versatility, and the chance to make a home their own! Conveniently situated in Sayreville, with access to NYC bus transportation, major highways including Routes 9, 18 and 35, the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike, as well as NJ Transit and the South Amboy Ferry. Shopping, dining, parks and everyday conveniences are also within easy reach.
