Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-unit residential income home offers two separate entrances per unit, supporting privacy and flexible living arrangements. The first-floor unit includes a 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout with a living room, formal dining room, and kitchen, and it is currently occupied by long-term tenants paying $2,000 per month. The layout also presents potential to be reconfigured into a 2-bedroom format. The second-floor unit was recently renovated and features two bedrooms, one full bath, and a bonus room suited for an office, flex space, workout area, or storage. Interior updates noted include restored original hardwood floors, fresh paint, and updated lighting.

Outside, the home includes a wraparound porch and a low-maintenance composite deck. A large dry basement provides laundry hookups and additional storage. Off-street parking is dedicated to each unit, with a long-standing shared parking arrangement covering lawn care, snow removal, parking lot repairs, and overall lot maintenance, which the listing estimates at $5,000 annually.

The property is positioned near NJ Transit with direct service to NYC, and it is also close to Somerville’s restaurants, shops, cafés, and entertainment. With two independently entered units and dedicated parking, it may appeal to owner-occupants and investors seeking a straightforward two-family structure with practical day-to-day upkeep.
