Property Description

Welcome to 205 Water Street, where classic Colonial character, modern updates and waterfront living come together in one of Perth Amboy's most distinctive locations. This beautifully renovated brick Colonial offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and approximately 1,863 square feet of living space just a block from the city's historic waterfront. Step inside to a bright and inviting interior featuring beautiful flooring, generous living spaces and an updated kitchen with modern finishes. The home's thoughtful layout offers plenty of flexibility, including a family room, office space and additional areas that can easily adapt to today's lifestyle. A partially finished basement provides even more usable space for recreation, a home gym, storage or other needs. Central air and a garage complete the package. What truly separates 205 Water Street is the lifestyle outside your front door. Enjoy beautiful views of the Raritan Bay, morning or evening walks along the waterfront and convenient access to some of Perth Amboy's most recognizable waterfront destinations. The historic Raritan Yacht Club is located along Water Street, while The Armory Restaurant, known for waterfront dining and scenic views, is just moments away near the Harborside Marina. Imagine enjoying dinner along the water, watching the boats come and go, taking an evening waterfront stroll and being home within minutes. It's a setting that brings a coastal feel to everyday living while still offering the space and convenience of a full size single family home. Beautifully updated, filled with character and positioned in a location that is difficult to duplicate, 205 Water Street offers more than a home. It offers the opportunity to experience Perth Amboy waterfront living every day. Schedule your private showing today.
