This fully renovated two-family residence offers a turnkey setup for an investor or an owner-occupant. Each unit features three bedrooms with updated finishes and comfortable, functional layouts. In addition to the two full living levels, the property includes a fully finished attic that can serve as bonus living space for a home office, recreation room, guest area, or extended living needs.

Located in Newark, the home is described as convenient to major transportation, including Newark Penn Station and NJ Transit, along with shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, and major highways. The provided walk, bike, and transit scores are 69 (somewhat walkable), 50 (bikeable), and 61 (good transit), supporting day-to-day access for residents.

For tenants, the configuration provides two separate, updated three-bedroom units plus adaptable attic space.
