Opportunity awaits in the desirable north end of Newark! This 5-bedroom, 3 full-bath split level offers 2,548 sq. ft. of living space on nearly an acre, with excellent road frontage. The split floor plan features generously sized rooms throughout, including a partially finished basement with a second kitchen and direct access to the garage. A spacious covered patio adds outdoor living space, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
The property requires substantial renovation and is being sold as-is, making it an excellent opportunity for rehabbers, investors, or visionaries ready to bring new life to this home. With the possibility of rezoning for multi-family or commercial use (Buyer responsible for all due diligence, including any changes to current zoning), the potential here is significant—whether you envision restoring it as a single-family residence, developing income-producing units, or creating a business location with strong visibility.
Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, and major commuter routes, this property offers both accessibility and future growth potential. Don't miss your chance to reimagine this home and unlock its full value.
