247 Harrison Ave Unit 2 Jersey City 6
The homes won a prestigious Excellence in Preservation Award for the restoration of historic features and tasteful interior updates.

Two charming residences have hit the market after a dedicated restoration of a historic property in the West Bergen–East Lincoln Park Historic District of Jersey City. The homes are an impressive example of how transformation can save residences once destined for demolition by sensitively restoring historic features and tastefully extending buildings to meet the demands of modern living. The homes come complete with parking at a nearby remote controlled gated lot for $100 per month.

The owner of this remarkable property painstakingly restored the historic front façade and porch by reviving the home’s charismatic curb appeal showcased on the 1938 tax card. This dedication resulted in the property receiving the prestigious Excellence in Preservation Award in recognition of the quality and effectiveness of the preservation along with best practices used and the project’s positive impact on the local community.

The front facade of the property was restored and features charming curb appeal.

Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, the two stylishly updated condominiums are outfitted with contemporary features that create a sense of serenity and comfort. White oak hardwood floors flow throughout, while herringbone accentuates the living areas, and natural light filters through Pella windows to enhance the welcoming atmosphere. In addition to the appealing aesthetic upgrades, practical modernizations – like energy efficient heating-cooling systems – provide optimal convenience all year round.

Functionality and beauty unite in the kitchens with the white quartz waterfall countertops and breakfast bars complemented by hues of sage green cabinetry. Farmhouse sinks with warm brass fixtures and tiled backsplashes further enrich the charm of the modern kitchens, with LG appliances and glass top induction ovens making mealtime effortless.
