Calling all contractors! This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is in need of a total renovation. Great location close to the train and Montclair High School. Currently there is no water or heat in the house due to the water line from the street bursting during the cold snap this winter. Oil tank removed from underground and replaced by an above ground tank. R2 zoning so could possibly be expanded to a multi-family. Sold strictly in AS-IS condition.
