For much of the last decade the building at 460 Bloomfield Avenue has been the home of Good Products, a retailer of new and used office furniture. Now, it can be a good home for a business in what is about to become a very good stretch of Bloomfield Avenue.
The property at 460 Bloomfield Avenue sits at the corner of Cumberland Avenue, but Claremont Avenue is right behind it, which means it is a three-corner lot. In addition to the ground-floor retail space and loading dock, there are three apartments on the second floor. That alone could give it some appeal.
But 460 Bloomfield Avenue is a stone’s throw from two lots that are going to be the site of high-end apartment buildings. De Mattheis Investments broke ground on the project on Friday, and construction is expected to start soon. There’s also Verona Park right across the street and a lovely little diner, which also happens to be up for sale.
But if you want this one, you’re going to have to dig deep: The asking price for 460 Bloomfield Avenue is almost $1.8 million. By comparison, 435 Bloomfield Avenue and 449 Bloomfield Avenue, the sites of the new Verona Place apartments, sold for $500,000 each in June 2014, according to public records. Both were empty lots.
It’s otherwise a light weekend in Verona real estate, with just two new residential listings, four open houses and two properties with lower prices:
