RIVERFRONT PROPERTY: A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a late-19th-century Tudor-style home in a beautiful riverfront setting. This five-bedroom, two-bath residence offers approximately a century of character and architectural detail, with endless possibilities for the buyer ready to bring it back to life. Enter from the welcoming front porch through the original vestibule and discover a first floor rich with period craftsmanship, including original oak floors, chestnut wainscoting, exposed ceiling beams, coffered ceilings, and two fireplaces. The dining room opens to a tile-floored family room with Italian marble inlays, while a tiled sleeping porch offers additional charm and versatility off one of the bedrooms. Set along the river, the property offers a unique connection to nature and the seasons, with opportunities for canoeing in the warmer months and ice skating in winter when conditions permit. The location is also convenient to Cranford's parks, shopping, commuter routes, and train station. Property is being sold strictly as-is and is in need of renovation. For those looking for a property with character, a special setting, and the opportunity to create a home of their own, 25 Central Avenue offers a truly distinctive canvas. Schedule your private tour and explore the possibilities.
