Welcome to this beautifully modernized Victorian farmhouse on a 25x100 lot in the heart of Bergen-Lafayette, just minutes from Manhattan. This fully detached two family offers flexibility and upside for owner occupants and investors alike. The larger unit is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex spanning the upper levels, featuring a spacious owners suite and an original decorative mantel in the living room that preserves the home’s Victorian character.
