Description
Turn-of-the-century charm meets unlimited potential in this spacious 3-story Brownstone located in the heart of Newark. With over 2,500 sq ft, this 6-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home offers historic details like high ceilings, original plaster crown moldings, parquet floors, and wide-plank pine boards that speak to a bygone era. The property also features a large basement ready to be finished, offering additional living space, storage, or the potential for a rec room, studio, or office. Skyline views from the third floor and room for a private rear patio add to the unique appeal. Being sold as-is, this is a rare opportunity for a creative dreamer or first-time buyer to reimagine a true architectural gem. Located just steps from the iconic Krueger Mansion, this home is surrounded by a wave of development and revitalization. Enjoy being within a 20-min. walk to Whole Foods, NJPAC, Prudential Center, and Newark Penn Station. Own a piece of Newark's history and shape its next chapter.
