An exceptional opportunity to enter one of Passaic County’s most sought-after markets. Ideally situated in highly desirable Hawthorne, NJ, this home is nestled within a charming neighborhood surrounded by properties of significantly higher value—offering both immediate comfort and long-term upside.

Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. Upstairs, a high ridge line presents a compelling opportunity for expansion, with the potential to create two additional bedrooms or a private primary suite. The full basement provides flexible space, including a large semi-finished area ideal for recreation, along with dedicated storage and utility space. A single-car garage offers covered parking, while a full attic with pull-down stairs adds even more storage for the years ahead.
