Timeless elegance meets contemporary conveniences in this two-family home nestled on one of Jersey City Heights’ most coveted streets. This historic residence at 148 New York Avenue presents carefully preserved period features melded with beautiful modern upgrades.
Constructed circa the 1890s, prepare to be impressed by this property’s charming historic features. It would be difficult to replicate the classic character found throughout this property, with the original ceiling medallions, crown molding, hardwood floors, 8 fireplace mantels, and an exquisite carved wooden banister providing a glimpse into the property’s past lives. In addition to these remarkable features, skylights and oversized windows welcome natural light into the homes, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Consisting of two residences, the homes were originally built as mirrored properties. Today, they offer extra-wide, open floor plans to promote a feeling of spaciousness and fulfill the demands of modern living. The ground floor unit is currently rented and offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, plus a den. Meanwhile, the two-story main residence boasts four expansive bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, along with a full dining room, two additional dens, and an oversized backyard.
The modern upgrades throughout the home allow residents to benefit from contemporary conveniences while embracing the historic character of the property. Kitchen updates include stainless steel appliances and plentiful cabinet space, while the bathrooms have been refreshed with marble pedestal sinks.
Residents may wish to add their personalized touch and embark on further modernizing the home, or they could choose to continue preserving the historic features and feel of the property.
The main residence’s oversized backyard was carefully designed by A Small Green Space to ensure maximum enjoyment. Simply relax in your private outdoor space, or entertain guests on the wooden decking while gazing upon the raised garden beds and easy-care turf lawn.
The prime location of this home ensures residents enjoy the best of the Heights neighborhood in Jersey City with many popular amenities within walking distance.
