About This Home
A Doctor's Row Original — 3,953 SF Two-Family on a Double Lot Houses on Bentley Avenue rarely come to market. Set on Doctor's Row inside the West Bergen-East Lincoln Park Historic District — the only designated historic district outside Downtown JC — this 1925 three-story colonial offers something almost impossible to find: scale, soul, and income on a single deed. Inside, original craftsmanship is everywhere — parquet floors with mahogany inlay, high ceilings, crown molding, glass chandeliers, and a covered front porch made for slow mornings. Two updated kitchens, 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and generous living and dining rooms across two legal units make this ideal for multigenerational living or a live-in investor. The 7,253 sq ft double-wide lot delivers what JC buyers fight for: a fenced backyard for entertaining and gardening, off-street parking for 3+ cars, and a detached garage. Half a block walk to Lincoln Park's 270 acres of tennis, pickleball, trails, and the Sunday farmers market. Journal Square PATH puts you in Midtown in about 22 minutes. Income potential: $8,000–$8,500/month combined. In a city ranked #2 nationally for emerging real estate trends in 2026, with 2.8% multifamily vacancy, this is rare ground to own.
