EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY! This oversized garage is located behind gates moments from the center of town in the heart of South Orange Village. Nestled around mostly residential properties, this large garage could house between 6-10 vehicles as well as ample parking outside within the gates; approximately 10 additional vehicles. Tons of office, storage space, and loft space--this can be a working facility or redeveloped into residential homes or multi units. Currently being used as a woodworking shop, it was previously used as a storage facility for a local new car dealership. Grandfathered in to continue current use--this property is also located within the redevelopment zone (R-22) and is on a dead end section of the street, moments from NYC train station. The possibilities are endless for what the property can be! It is a stand-alone building (located in the rear of the property) that is around 35 feet by 57 feet with high ceilings on a 0.131-acre lot. There is no water supply, air conditioning, or plumbing in the building. There is public water, natural gas lines and sewer at the street levelZone: R-22 - Townhouses Single & two-family houses Family day care Multiple stacked, two-family dwellings Maximum building height: 35 ft up to 3 stories. Check with town on specific details!
