A rare opportunity awaits in one of North Bergen’s most coveted residential pockets, where this immaculate two-family home offers generous space, flexible use, and direct New York City views. Currently used as a single-family residence, the six-bedroom, six-bathroom property features multiple outdoor spaces, four parking spaces, and a prime location just one block from North Hudson Park and moments from Boulevard East.
Set on a double lot, 19 78th Street spans approximately 5,000 square feet across multiple levels and pairs classic colonial-style curb appeal with thoughtful modern updates. A front garden and porch create a welcoming first impression, while inside, a tasteful 2018 renovation introduced updated systems and finishes, including four-zone air conditioning, central vacuum, wood flooring throughout, and a charming staircase leading to the upper levels. With abundant living space designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, the home offers a polished yet practical retreat in a highly convenient North Bergen setting.
The main living level unfolds across 1,200 square feet, centered around an open living and dining area with 10-foot ceilings, multiple windows, and a natural connection to the rear yard. A gas fireplace and wood-burning stove bring texture and comfort to the space, while a separate mudroom entry and full bathroom add a practical layer that supports both daily routines and entertaining.
The kitchen makes a strong impression with a striking island countertop that anchors the room. Designed for both cooking and casual gathering, the island incorporates a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, extractor hood, and ample prep area. Extensive cabinetry and stainless steel appliances complete the kitchen, creating a functional and well-equipped setting for everything from weeknight meals to larger occasions.
Upstairs, the second floor includes three sizable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One bedroom functions as a junior suite with its own ensuite bath, offering added privacy for guests or household members. This level also features a wet bar and sliding glass doors that open to the 600-square-foot rear deck, where open Manhattan skyline views provide a memorable backdrop for outdoor dining, evening drinks, or simply taking in the cityscape.
The top floor is dedicated to the primary suite, a substantial 800-square-foot retreat with vaulted 14-foot ceilings and a private terrace overlooking New York City. The volume of the room allows for a separate sitting area, giving the suite a more residential, tucked-away feel. Three walk-in closets provide extensive storage, while the ensuite bathroom features a double vanity and glass-enclosed shower for a clean, streamlined finish.
On the ground level, the second unit has its own private entrance and is configured with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bright and adaptable, the space can support a range of uses, from extended household living to a dedicated work-from-home area or potential rental income. An open living and dining area connects to a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances and modern cabinetry, while both bedrooms are comfortably sized and the bathrooms are finished with updated fixtures.
The home’s North Bergen location places it just one block from James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park, with everyday conveniences and Hudson County destinations close at hand. Hoboken, Edgewater, and the waterfront are easily reached by car or public transit, while bus and ferry options provide access to New York City. Nearby dining and neighborhood destinations include Waterside Restaurant and Dining, Haven Riverfront Restaurant and Bar, Harry’s Food and Drink, and a variety of local shops and attractions.
