Exceptional Estate-Style Investment Opportunity in Forest Hill, Newark. This grand Mediterranean / Italian Renaissance Revival estate presents a rare, high-impact investment opportunity in Newark's prestigious Forest Hill neighborhood. Situated on an expansive, park-like lot, the property features a stately stucco facade, arched windows and doorways, columned entry, wide overhanging eaves, and a classic loggia displaying hallmarks of early 20th century architectural elegance rarely found today. The estate-scale footprint and symmetrical layout offer exceptional flexibility for investors or visionary buyers. Multiple wings and entrances support a range of value-add and adaptive reuse strategies. Highlights include strong architectural character, expansive private grounds suitable for future amenities or expansion, historic elements that enhance long-term value, and a prime location near major highways, parks, and transportation corridors. This is not a typical residential offering it is a legacy-level asset with upside driven by scale, location, and architectural significance. Properties of this caliber in Forest Hill rarely become available. Property is part of an estate sale and is a short sale, subject to third-party approval.
