Description

Situated beside its equally elegant twin, this circa-1880s Victorian two-family home stands proudly on iconic Sherman Place in Jersey City Heights. Set on a rare 37 x 194 lot, it blends historic charm with modern upgrades, offering a 4-bedroom, 2-bath primary residence, a fully renovated 2-bedroom garden apartment, and rare off-street multi-car parking-just blocks from parks, NYC transit, and Central Ave shops. Classic Victorian details-corbel brackets, scalloped shingles, and a wide front porch-set a timeless tone. Inside, hardwood floors with detailed inlays, pocket doors, intricate moldings, and plaster medallions speak to the home's rich heritage, while modern systems, including 3 separate HVAC systems, ensure comfort and efficiency. The main duplex is thoughtfully laid out and spans two bright levels. A gracious living room with bay window and decorative stone fireplace opens to a den with custom built-ins, a formal dining room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen with wood cabinetry, center island, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in window seat. A glass door leads to a large rear deck overlooking the deep backyard-ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide flexibility, along with a full bath and laundry closet. Above, the expansive 800 SF attic with soaring 18' ceiling offers exciting potential for a luxurious suite or studio space. The garden-level apartment has been fully updated, featuring its own HVAC, private entrance, and stylish finishes-ideal for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Long driveway parking and favorable zoning allows for expansion, value and opportunity. This is a rare chance to own a piece of Jersey City history on one of its most sought-after streets, full of warmth, elegance, and future potential.
