Welcome to 231 Wierimus Rd in Hillsdale, New Jersey — a truly rare property where timeless character, modern luxury, and extraordinary versatility come together on 1.4 private acres.
Set high on a private hill with sweeping views and a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find in Bergen County, this exceptional duplex-style two-family residence offers something far beyond the traditional multi-family home. Here, a beautifully restored Italianate Victorian exterior meets a sophisticated contemporary interior, creating a property that feels both historic and completely at home in today's lifestyle.
The main residence is thoughtfully designed as two side-by-side homes, each offering its own private living experience while sharing the elegance and quality of the overall property.
The North Unit features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with a bright and welcoming living room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A generous dining area flows into a beautifully renovated kitchen, complemented by a dedicated laundry room and finished attic providing valuable storage. Central air conditioning adds to the comfort.
The South Unit offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with an inviting living room, dining area, renovated kitchen, laundry area, and finished attic for additional storage.
Everywhere you look, the property reflects thoughtful investment and attention to detail. Newer mechanical systems include a heat pump, boiler, water heater, and radiators, while a newer roof, windows, and durable James Hardie siding provide peace of mind for years to come. Acoustic insulation between the residences enhances privacy, making the home as comfortable as it is beautiful.
And then there is the backyard.
Expansive, private, and surrounded by the tranquility of the hilltop setting, it creates an exceptional backdrop for summer entertaining, intimate gatherings, quiet mornings, or simply enjoying the feeling of having your own private retreat.
Beyond the main residence, a separate accessory building opens an entirely different chapter of possibilities. With 8 rooms, 2 baths, and a kitchenette, this flexible space can become a sophisticated home office, creative studio, entertaining space, wellness retreat, or whatever your lifestyle requires. It adds a level of versatility rarely found in a property of this caliber.
Ample parking further enhances the functionality of the property, while approved architectural plans for a two-car garage are included with the sale.
For those looking toward the future, the property also includes a civil engineering concept study outlining a potential path toward a minor subdivision — adding another layer of opportunity to an already remarkable offering.
This is not simply a two-family home.
It is a property with history, privacy, income potential, flexible living space, and room to create something uniquely your own — all within one of Bergen County's most desirable communities.
231 Wierimus Rd is the kind of property that rarely comes to market because it offers what today's most discerning buyers are looking for: space, privacy, flexibility, architectural character, and the freedom to envision what comes next.
A rare opportunity. A remarkable setting. And a property with possibilities that extend well beyond the ordinary.
