40 S West Ave Bridgeton, NJ 08302

Here’s an amazing opportunity to own a piece of history, in a great location, as your own home or as a business! This has the POTENTIAL TO BE A RESTAURANT OR BED & BREAKFAST. This incredible 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers the character you don’t see built into most new homes. Situated on a corner lot, with two driveways on each side, the home is a stately Colonial Style Home with a stucco facade, a copper roof front porch with columns, a sun porch on one side, an open porch on the other, and a large front and side lawn. Brick Column light posts adorn both driveways and the walking path at the sidewalk. There’s a two-car detached garage behind the home. The foyer is adorned with extensive trim work, crown molding, shadowboxes, chair railing, travertine tile flooring, and a crystal candelabra chandelier. The Living room is huge and has beautiful hardwood floors, a brick fireplace and mantle and another chandelier. French doors at the foyer allow you to have peace and quiet when needed. Two sets of Six-Panel doors open from the living room into the sunroom, which also has a fireplace. This room has a lovely view of the side yard, has access to the lower level, and walks out to the blue slate patio via several floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.. The dining room boasts hardwood floors, French Doors to the foyer, and sliding glass doors to the porch. Imagine this room filled with conversation and laughter while you host dinner parties here. The butler’s pantry/dining area is in between the dining room and kitchen and has cabinetry/counter space and a dinette set for your casual meals. The kitchen has solid wood cabinetry and lots of cabinets and counter space for the chef of the household. There’s a powder room on the first floor, by the back door, for your convenience. There’s also a mud room by the side door, off the kitchen, which leads to the driveway. Upstairs, the second floor has three spacious bedrooms, a hall bathroom, and a jack and jill bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have hardwood floors and share the jack and jill bathroom, which has a shower stall. The third bedroom has carpet and built-in drawers and a bureau. The hall bathroom has a tub shower combination. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms which are very spacious and have pine paneling and built-ins, with neutral carpet. The Basement is unfinished, has high ceilings, and houses the laundry area. There’s also a retro bar down there, which means at one time it was actively used as additional recreation space. The basement has a walk-out up into the sunroom. Outside there’s a blue slate patio, and the porch wraps around the front of the home, covered and uncovered. There’s plenty of parking in the driveway. This home is truly unique and would be perfect for a large or multi-generation family, or it could be converted into a restaurant or Bed and Breakfast. As a restaurant, with a vision, it could be amazing! (Buyer would be responsible for due diligence of all zoning approvals for a restaurant prior to purchase.) The large rooms inside provide for many tables and year-round dining. The basement could be used as the kitchen so that you could use all of the space upstairs for dining. The sunroom could also be a part of the year-round dining as the fireplace would provide warmth and ambiance. The patio and porches would be perfect for seasonal outdoor dining. The buyer will need to get the approvals for the potential restaurant or B&B. This is a great location, the corner lot with two driveways makes it highly visible and easily accessible. It’s 33 minutes to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, 3 minutes to downtown Bridgeton and the Cohansick Zoo, and 20 minutes to the Cumberland County Mall. It’s just 17 minutes to the Bayside viewing area at the Delaware River Bay.
