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.
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.
The bathrooms have been impeccably modernized with Birchwood influenced design features, such as ribbon tiles, and brass fixtures. Primary bathrooms are wet room style en suites with dual vanities and a deep soaking tub and multiple shower sprays offering a spa-like experience in the comfort of home. The additional full bathrooms are ideal for rejuvenating after a long day with chic vanities and walk-in showers with glass doors and rain showers overhead.
Residence 1 encompasses nearly 1,700 square-feet of inviting living space across the lower and first floors of the property. This pleasant, split-level residence contains three serene bedrooms, with the primary bedroom offering direct outdoor access via sliding glass doors, and two full bathrooms. Entertainers will appreciate the home’s dining area adjacent to the kitchen, and the lower level’s spacious living area.
The home also includes an 800 square-feet backyard with a privacy fence. Relax and entertain in a tranquil oasis that is perfectly set up with a lush lawn and paved patio area, making it easy to dive straight into gardening, hosting barbecues, and enjoying alfresco dining.
Residence 2 encompasses approximately 2,000 square-feet of living space across the second and third floors of the building. This penthouse-style residence presents three peaceful bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Vaulted ceilings and skylights highlight the expansive feeling of this elegant home, with the kitchen-dining area also benefiting from multiple oversized windows welcoming natural light inside.
The loft contains a bright and flowing living space that overlooks the kitchen-dining area. Sliding glass doors lead to the private rooftop terrace, where fresh air and tranquillity meet to provide the perfect space to unwind and admire the local foliage. Whether entertaining or relaxing with a favorite beverage, the low maintenance terrace is sure to become the go-to place after a long day.
Explore the local neighborhood, which is brimming with boutiques and coffee shops, and embrace the relaxed urban lifestyle on offer while accessing nearby city conveniences. The Bergen-Lafayette Light Rail, which connects to NJ transit trains that travel into NYC, provides an easy commute. These two residences are also situated near Lincoln Park, where amenities like basketball courts, tennis courts, track, walking paths, and more are available.
