This East Rutherford two-family residence at 81 Union Street presents a versatile opportunity for owner-occupants or investors. The property encompasses two distinct living units within a two-story structure, offering a total of 2,156 square feet according to tax records. Additionally, a fully finished basement provides further usable space, complete with a legal half bathroom and dual interior and exterior access points. Each of the two residences is configured with two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and an updated bathroom. Refinished hardwood floors are present in the living and dining areas of both units, complemented by numerous windows that allow for abundant natural light.
Improvements completed approximately two years ago have enhanced the property's infrastructure, including new plumbing throughout, updated electrical panels and wiring, and the installation of two boilers. Both units feature updated bedrooms with laminate wood-style flooring. The second-floor residence benefits from a completely renovated kitchen, and an updated foyer provides clear and separate entrances for each unit. An expansive walk-up attic with wide stairs and high ceilings offers significant additional storage or potential for further development.
The exterior of the property includes a fenced backyard and refreshed landscaping. Ample off-street parking is available, accommodating up to three vehicles, and a detached two-car garage provides secure parking and storage. The roof was replaced approximately four years ago. One hot-water heater is approximately two years old, while the second is approximately four years old. Utilities are separate for each unit, with the exception of one shared water meter.
Located conveniently, this property offers easy access to shopping, dining, and transportation options, including NJ Transit for travel to New York City. Proximity to major roadways such as Route 3 and the Lincoln Tunnel, as well as nearby attractions like MetLife Stadium and American Dream, adds to the property's appeal. The lot size measures 38 x 106 feet, totaling 4,029 square feet. This residential income property, built in 1930, represents a compelling offering with substantial space, parking, and a desirable location.
