The combined layout provides 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms total. A full basement adds additional storage space and may offer finishing options for extra usable area.

It is also positioned near key transportation and commuting routes, including NJ Transit and Routes 22 and 202/206, with I-287 nearby and direct access to New York City referenced in the remarks.

    From a use and ownership standpoint, the building is currently commercially zoned, with the owner already beginning the process of rezoning to residential multi-family.
