When is the open house at 151 Summit Avenue in Cliffside Park, NJ?
Sunday, September 13, from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. The property is a 2-family style house at 151 Summit Avenue, Cliffside Park, NJ 07010, listed at $829,000.
Two doors, one afternoon to see them
Most buyers looking at a two-family in Bergen County are running two calculations at the same time. Can I live here, and does the second unit actually carry weight. Usually one answer is yes and the other is a compromise.
151 Summit Avenue is worth an hour of your Sunday because both answers hold up.
Open house runs Sunday, September 13, from 12:00 to 3:00. One afternoon, one chance this week. You can see the full photo set, the video tour and the floor plan on the 151 Summit Avenue listing page before you come.
What you are walking into
The upper residence is where an owner lives. Three bedrooms across two floors, a living room, and a separate formal dining room rather than the open-plan compromise most two-family homes settle for. The kitchen has granite counters and island seating, and it opens through sliding glass doors onto a large wood deck that looks over a fenced backyard with an in-ground sprinkler system.
Hardwood and parquet floors. Marble entry foyer. Every window has already been replaced. Central air serves this unit.
The ground-level apartment is one bedroom and one full bath with a combined kitchen and living area, and it has its own private side entrance and its own side walkway. That detail matters more than it sounds. The two households never share a door. It is currently leased at $1,400 per month, with the owner covering heat and hot water and the tenant covering electric and cooking gas.
Downstairs, the basement holds a half bath, the laundry room and storage. It is common area rather than part of either apartment, which is the arrangement most owner-occupants want.
The part your inspector will care about
The systems were handled years before this house went on the market, which is a different thing than being cleaned up for a sale.
- Roof replaced in spring 2019
- Electrical panels for both units updated in October 2019
- Baseboard gas heat
- Sump pump with interior and exterior French drain waterproofing already completed
- Detached one-car garage, updated
On a Cliffside Park hillside, that last item is the one to notice. Water management on these lots is a real line item, and here it has already been answered and paid for.
The trade-off, stated up front
The driveway is shared with the neighboring property under an easement, and it splits toward the rear so each house reaches its own garage. That is the honest trade-off on this property, and you should hear it from me at the door rather than from your attorney three weeks in.
For most buyers it is a non-event once they see how the split works. For a few, it will not be. Come look at it in person and decide, and ask me for the survey while you are there.

The NJ Transit Bus Routes 156 and 159 stop at Anderson Avenue and 3rd Street, 0.2 mi from the front door, with service into Port Authority Bus Terminal. For drivers, the George Washington Bridge and Route 4 are both a short drive, and the Edgewater Commons corridor along River Road covers the everyday shopping run.

Who this open house is for
Three kinds of buyers should put this on the calendar.
The owner-occupant. You want to live in the larger unit and have the smaller one offset the monthly cost. The private side entrance and the separated utilities are what make that livable rather than awkward.
The multi-generational buyer. Two full kitchens, two full baths, two entrances, one roof. That is a hard combination to find under $850,000 in this part of Bergen County.
The investor. One unit is already producing at $1,400 a month, the major systems are documented with dates, and the waterproofing question is closed. Bring your numbers and I will walk you through what comparable Cliffside Park two-families have actually closed at.
