About this House

Opportunity awaits in this spacious 4 Bedroom, 1 Full Bath, 1,413-square-foot home, ready for a buyer with vision and the willingness to provide the TLC it needs. Improvements include siding, windows, and electrical panel updated in 2014; kitchen and bathroom updates completed in 2020; and a replacement cellar door installed in 2024. The kitchen features granite countertops, ceramic tile, and recessed lighting but needs refreshing due to wear. Additional highlights include an enclosed porch, formal dining room, generously sized rooms, full basement, and spacious backyard. Hardwood flooring on the lower level offers great potential and would benefit from stripping and refinishing. Conveniently located near Cedar Brook Park, downtown Plainfield shopping and dining, the Plainfield NJ Transit station, major roadways, and JFK/Mulenberg Medical Center. An excellent renovation opportunity for an owner-occupant using FHA 203(k) financing or an investor seeking their next project. Property needs repairs and is being offered in its current "as is" condition.

    "It's not unique. It was a nice neighborhood many ages ago. The older generation is being taken over by younger crowds that to not maintain the upkeep of the homes. The city is doing its best with the introduction of charter schools to help our minority students. Several sections are crime and drug ridden. Would not recommend for families. "
