151 Summit Avenue, Cliffside Park, NJ 07010
Two-family buyers usually have to pick. Either the house works for you, or the numbers work. The ones where both are true tend to be tired, and the ones that show well tend to be priced as if the second unit does not exist.
151 Summit Avenue is the other kind.
You live upstairs. Three bedrooms across two floors, a separate formal dining room, a kitchen that opens through sliding glass doors onto a large deck above a fenced backyard. Hardwood and parquet under your feet, a marble entry foyer, central air, windows that have already been replaced. The ground-level unit has its own side entrance and its own walkway, so your tenant comes and goes without ever crossing your path. It is leased at $1,400 a month, which arrives every month whether or not you thought about it.
Underneath both units is the part most buyers do not think to ask about until their inspector does. The roof was replaced in 2019. Both electrical panels were updated the same year. There is a sump pump and a French drain system, interior and exterior, which means the water question on a Cliffside Park hillside has already been answered and paid for.
This is a house someone took care of on the years nobody was watching. That is a different purchase than one that was cleaned up for the sale.
151 Summit Avenue, Cliffside Park, NJ 07010, Bergen County 2-family style house | 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath | Detached one-car garage | Listed at $829,000
The main residence runs across two floors: 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, living room, and a separate formal dining room rather than the open great-room compromise most two-families settle for. The kitchen was renovated with granite counters and island seating, and it opens through sliding glass doors onto a large wood deck. Hardwood and parquet floors run through the living space. Marble entry foyer. Windows have all been replaced. Central air serves this unit.
1 bedroom, 1 full bath, a combined kitchen and living area, and a separate bedroom. It has a private side entrance and its own side walkway, so the two households never share a door. Currently leased at $1,400 per month. Owner pays heat and hot water. Tenant pays electric and cooking gas.
A half bath sits on the basement level alongside the laundry room and storage. It is common area, not part of either apartment, which is the arrangement most owner-occupants want.
Fenced backyard with lawn and shrubs, an in-ground sprinkler system, and a walkway back to the detached one-car garage, which has been updated. The driveway is shared under an easement that splits at the rear to serve two separate garages, one for this property and one for the neighbor. Worth understanding before you tour, which is why it is written here rather than buried in a disclosure.
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.
0.2 mi to the NJ Transit Bus Routes 156 and 159 stop at Anderson Avenue and 3rd Street, with service into Port Authority Bus Terminal. The George Washington Bridge, Route 4 and the Edgewater Commons shopping corridor along River Road are all within a short drive. For a fuller picture of the town itself, see the Cliffside Park community guide.
This listing includes professional wide-angle photography, a full video tour, and a custom floor plan. The floor plan matters more than usual on a two-family, because it is the fastest way to see how the two units actually separate and where the shared basement sits relative to both.
Q: How is 151 Summit Avenue laid out as a two-family style house? A: It is configured as two separate units. The upper residence runs across two floors, and the ground-level apartment has its own private side entrance. A basement common area holds a half bath, the laundry room and storage, and is shared rather than assigned to either unit. Contact Scott Selleck for the municipal certificate and current registration status.
Q: How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the property have in total? A: Four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The upper unit carries 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The ground-level unit carries 1 bedroom and 1 full bath. The half bath is in the basement common area.
Q: Is the second unit rented, and what is the income? A: Yes. The ground-level unit is leased at $1,400 per month. Owner pays heat and hot water, tenant pays electric and cooking gas. Contact Scott Selleck for the current lease term.
Q: Is there parking at 151 Summit Avenue? A: There is a detached one-car garage, which has been updated, with a walkway from the backyard. The driveway is shared with the neighboring property under an easement that splits at the rear so each house reaches its own garage.
Q: What does the shared driveway easement actually mean? A: It means the paved entrance is used by both properties and separates toward the back, with each house reaching its own garage. It is a recorded arrangement rather than an informal courtesy. Ask for the survey and the recorded easement language during attorney review, and Scott Selleck will walk you through how it works day to day.
Q: What major systems have been updated? A: The roof was replaced in spring 2019. Both electrical panels were updated in October 2019. Heat is baseboard gas. There is a sump pump paired with an interior and exterior French drain waterproofing system.
Q: Is there commuter access to Manhattan from Cliffside Park, NJ? A: Yes. The NJ Transit Bus Routes 156 and 159 stop at Anderson Avenue and 3rd Street, 0.2 mi from the property, with service into Port Authority Bus Terminal. The George Washington Bridge is a short drive for anyone commuting by car.
Q: Does the property have outdoor space? A: Yes. A large wood deck off the upper unit's kitchen overlooks a fenced backyard with lawn and shrubs, an in-ground sprinkler system, and a walkway to the detached garage.
Q: Is there a virtual tour of 151 Summit Avenue? A: Yes. The listing includes professional photography, a video tour, and a custom floor plan showing how the two units separate. There is no 3D Matterport scan on this property.
Q: What are the annual property taxes? A: Contact Scott Selleck for the current assessment and tax figure, and for a net cost estimate that accounts for the rental income from the ground-level unit.
Q: Can I schedule a private tour of 151 Summit Avenue? A: Yes. Schedule a time with Scott Selleck or call 201-970-3960. There is also a public open house on Sunday, September 13, from 12:00 to 3:00.

Cliffside Park is currently wrapping up its seasonal calendar with several events: the weekly Farmers’ Market at Brinkerhoff Avenue continues each Sunday through October; and the Recreation Department is preparing for the annual “Trunk or Treat” at Memorial Park on October 26. The public library will host a Halloween Costume Parade for children on October 25, complete with story time and crafts. These events cap off a month that began with the Fall Festival at Memorial Park, which drew strong community attendance in late September.
