    What's special

    Updated kitchenTrue ventilationTastefully renovated bathroomsTop-notch soundproofingLaundry roomSouth-facing homeOversized bedrooms

    Gorgeous Paulus Hook duplex (1,220 square feet) that has it all--bathe in the sunlight of this south-facing home, relax in the two oversized bedrooms with top-notch soundproofing to guard against traffic noise, enjoy the two tastefully renovated bathrooms (including two high-end Japanese bidets), prep delicious meals using the updated kitchen with true ventilation, enjoy views of downtown Jersey City from the oversized (and exceptionally functional) roof deck that opens directly into the living room and kitchen. Unit includes a laundry room with washer/dryer. Street parking is exceptionally easy on this section of Essex Street, which is uniquely restricted to residents of these three blocks with valid permits. There is no street-cleaning on this street, so parked vehicles do not need to be moved on a regular basis (subject to emergency no-parking signs). The duplex is located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building; a utility room (shared with three other units) on the ground floor may be used to store a bike or stroller for convenience. The home is ideally situated. Steps from the waterfront and marina, local daycares and schools, and multiple highly rated neighborhood coffeeshops. Down the block from Gymboree and light rail stations. Walkable from both Grove Street and Exchange Place PATH stations, which provide immediate access to Manhattan for commuters. Pet policy: a small cat or dog may be permitted on a case-by-case basis if they are fully trained and non-destructive, subject to a pet deposit. This is a landlord listing--no broker fees. Background/credit checks, proof of employment/income, and references may be required. Minimum one-year lease; longer options are negotiable. Tours are available by appointment on Saturday and Sunday, starting July 19 and 20th. Owner pays for water. Renter pays for electric, gas, and internet.
