Welcome to 865 Barry Ave, a beautifully updated home nestled in a quiet Perth Amboy neighborhood. This move-in-ready residence showcases a thoughtful renovation throughout, beginning with rich, refinished wood floors, custom crown molding, and high-hat recessed lighting in every room. The spacious living area features a newly constructed fireplace and chimney, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Just a few steps up, the open dining area overlooks the living room and leads into a completely renovated kitchen with modern cabinetry, sleek finishes, and all new stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been fully remodeled with stylish, contemporary design, and every room features upgraded two-panel doors with all-new trim, adding a polished and cohesive feel throughout. Beyond its aesthetic upgrades, the home has been significantly modernized behind the walls. A newer roof adds long-term durability, and an updated 200 AMP electrical panel was installed just last year. The home also features new laminate flooring, a fully renovated garage with epoxy-coated floors, five brand-new windows on the first floor, and all second-floor windows replaced within the last four years. The HVAC system was serviced just a month ago, and a new gas line runs directly to the main on the street. Step outside to enjoy a private, fenced-in backyard complete with an above-ground poolperfect for summer gatherings and weekend relaxation. Every corner of this home reflects quality workmanship and pride of ownership. Situated close to schools, shopping, restaurants, public transportation, and major highways, 865 Barry Ave offers the perfect balance of suburban comfort and urban convenience. Whether commuting, raising a family, or simply looking for a move-in-ready home with thoughtful upgrades, this property checks all the boxes.
