If you’ve ever dreamed of having a rope swing hanging from the rafters in your living room, then you are in luck. Having recently hit the market, this storied penthouse in downtown Jersey City not only boasts a swing, but also a sound-proof bedroom/music studio that once hosted the likes of Queen Latifah, the Pet Shop Boys, Bruce Springsteen and New Order. So what else can you find in this haven for music connoisseurs?
Aluminum and terrazzo steel underscore the industrial character of the historic Wells Fargo Lofts just off Hamilton Park. Hand-hewn beams zigzag across the roof line to create the appearance of sprawling tree branches. The quintessential triplex loft features ceilings that soar up to 50 feet at their peak and expand a generous 3,500 square feet throughout the unit.
Currently configured for two bedrooms, there is generous space available to accommodate a more flexible floor plan, as desired. To say the living room is expansive is an understatement. Once home to a freestanding basketball hoop and adjacent grand piano, it now has marbled flooring, stunning curved lines and a classic brick wall.
Light flows throughout the home from every angle, quite literally. Skylights are strewn about and windows of all shapes and sizes pepper the walls. A sunken library affords residents a quiet respite, although the open floor plan encourages shared conversation more than privacy.
The bathroom is surprisingly low-key compared to the rest of the home. A sunken jetted tub is framed against a tiled wall; the free-standing shower and double-sink vanity hint at understated sophistication; and the black-tiled floor offers contrast to the other colors throughout the room.
Designed by famed architect David Abelow, modern pop artist Robert Piersanti currently calls the place home. It was previously owned by music producer Arthur Baker.
