About This Home

480 W Lake Ave

Welcome to this charming home offering tremendous potential on a generous 50x111 lot in a desirable Rahway location. The first floor features an inviting enclosed front porch that leads into a comfortable living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a newly installed liner. The main level flows nicely from the living room into the dining room and kitchen, creating excellent space for daily living and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a flexible office space, providing excellent options for today's work-from-home lifestyle, all served by a full bathroom. The basement offers valuable storage space and includes a workbench area, plus there's already a toilet installed that could be expanded into an additional bathroom with some finishing work. Hidden beneath the existing carpeting are beautiful hardwood floors throughout most of the home, waiting to be restored to their original charm. With some updating and your personal touches, this property offers the opportunity to create your dream home. Situated approximately one mile from both downtown Rahway's shops and restaurants and the Rahway train station, providing easy access to NYC and surrounding areas. The private driveway and spacious lot offer plenty of parking and potential for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or future expansion. This is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home with great bones in a prime location.
