If you’re in the market for a home with a touch of history, mark your calendar for this weekend’s open house at 19 Magnolia Avenue. Dating back to the 1880s, this three-story brick townhome is fully renovated and full of possibilities. The charm starts outside — after all, this is Jersey City’s Hilltop neighborhood, its quiet residential streets lined with trees.
Hilltop is a quaint, historic, and convenient part of town, wedged in between Journal Square (and its essential transit hub) and the Village West section of Downtown Jersey City. 19 Magnolia sits on a block of 19th century row houses, on a wide lot measuring 18.33’ x 90’ including a 600-square-foot private backyard with a deck.

Completely renovated, this home offers 2,200 square feet of living space in a flexible configuration that can double as a single-family triplex or a combination of owner’s duplex and a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment that can be rented out for extra income, or just utilized for its extra space, including a second kitchen and living room.
Don’t miss the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home’s signature feature: a restored two-story bay window, or period details like exposed brick, plaster moldings and medallions, the home’s original staircase, and its original wide plank pine floors. There’s even a working wood-burning fireplace.



The kitchen is outfitted in modern style with granite counters and matching backsplash and equipped with cutting-edge technology from Viking and Bosch. Sliding glass doors open onto a deck overlooking the garden. Step into the backyard for a peaceful escape, framed with beech and Japanese maple trees astride a cedar pergola and outdoor kitchen with a 36” gas grill, refrigerator, and sink.

The master bedroom adjoins a den suitable for bedroom or home office usage, boasting a huge skylight and generously sized walk-in with elfa organizers. The master bathroom is finished with Kohler fixtures, recessed medicine cabinets, and a dual-head soaking shower enclosed in glass.


19 Magnolia’s upgrades include new plumbing, electrical, and insulation systems. With multi-zone A/C and high-efficiency radiant heat, on-demand tankless hot water, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen, efficiency and comfort alike have been well addressed.
This weekend, you can tour 19 Magnolia Avenue during open houses scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20. The home lists for $1,175,000. For more information, please contact Matt Brown at [email protected], 201-478-6709, or Peter Cossio at [email protected], 201-478-6710.
