The duplex above consists of an Eat-in-Kitchen, living room/dining room combo, 5 bedrooms, sitting/office area, den, and 2 full bathrooms. The new buyer can decide whether to occupy the two top floors, or occupy one and create a short-term stay business with the bonus unit for additional income. Don't be afraid to get creative! This home is located on a block with multiple 3-units, therefore, it may be possible to make the additional space a 3rd legal unit as well - after closing. This is being sold as-is, and buyer must perform their own due diligence. East Orange is continuously trending up, but still not at its peak, so take advantage now.
