Rare C2 Commercial Zoning on Route 79
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a C2 commercially zoned property with 129.73 feet of direct frontage on NJ Route 79 (South Main Street) — one of Marlboro's primary north-south corridors. This is not your typical residential listing. The C2 zoning opens the door to a wide range of professional, retail, and service-oriented commercial uses, making it ideal for an owner-occupier professional practice, medical office, or investor seeking adaptive reuse potential in a high-traffic, high-visibility location.

Why This Property Stands Out
?? High-Visibility Route 79 Frontage With nearly 130 feet of frontage on South Main Street (Route 79), this property offers excellent exposure to daily commuter and commercial traffic. Route 79 connects Marlboro to Freehold, Matawan, and the broader Monmouth County corridor — a well-traveled artery with established commercial activity.
?? Strong Candidate for Professional / Medical Office Conversion The existing one-story building (~1,448 sq ft) with a finished basement is well-suited for adaptive reuse as a professional or medical office. The basement includes two exit stairs, including a Bilco bulkhead exterior exit, providing egress flexibility that can support a variety of commercial configurations. During a prior listing period, this property received multiple medical office inquiries, underscoring the strong demand for this type of adaptive reuse in the Marlboro area.
? ADA Accessibility — Ready to Add ADA-compliant access is not yet installed, but the property is a strong candidate for a vertical platform lift (VPL) or ramp system. A VPL could be added at the front entrance side or the rear/side of the building, subject to planning, design, and municipal permitting. The buyer can incorporate accessibility improvements into their conversion plan and permit application — offering a clean slate to design ADA access that fits their intended use, rather than working around a pre-existing installation.
?? Generous Nearly Half-Acre Lot At 20,670 square feet, this lot offers substantially more space than typical residential parcels in the area — providing room for parking, signage, potential expansion, or site development subject to C2 zoning requirements and municipal approvals.
??? C2 Commercial Zoning — Broad Use Potential C2 zoning in Marlboro Township typically permits a range of commercial uses including, but not limited to:
• Professional offices (attorneys, accountants, insurance, real estate)
• Medical and dental offices
• Retail and service businesses
• Banks and financial services
• Restaurants and food service (with approvals)
• Personal services (salons, spas, wellness)
Buyers are responsible for verifying all permitted uses directly with the Marlboro Township Zoning/Building Department and obtaining any necessary approvals, permits, or variances for their intended use.
