This exquisite 1783sf 3-story 1-family Victorian-era townhome is located on a historic street in downtown Jersey City, only 2 blocks from the coveted Hamilton Park and 15 min. from the Grove Street PATH. Surrounded by leafy trees and story-book Victorian houses, this home was recently completely gutted and meticulously re-designed and re-built by a beloved local contractor. With only high end finishes and top-of-line fixtures throughout, this property seamlessly blends historic charm with all imaginable modern conveniences. Front porch accentuated by period cornices and columns with intricate carvings leads to a parlor level dedicated to the open-concept sun-filled living, dining area and eat-in kitchen. The designer chef’s kitchen has appeared on Today’s show and sports a waterfall breakfast bar peninsula, two walls of custom Kemper cabinets, mother of pearl backsplash, a pot filler, all LG appliances, an outside venting, and a wall of windows with a view of lush greenery. The dining area overlooks an expansive IPE deck right off the kitchen and a deep fully landscaped backyard. A convenient half bath and full side by side washer/dryer are also on this level. Follow the gorgeous staircase to the top floor featuring two extra large bedrooms and a dual-sink Carrara marble bath with a soaker tub, hexagon mosaic tiles and a skylight. The master bedroom leads to a large balcony offering beautiful tree top views. A lower level multi-purpose floor with an exposed brick wall, originally designed as a bedroom and a family room, has been converted into an office and a gigantic personal gym. It houses the second full bath with a seated shower and unique mosaic accents. A door can be added to easily convert to a 3rd bedroom if needed. Spacious and bright rooms in this exceptional home feature three-zoned energy efficient radiant heated floors, recessed lighting, spacious custom closets, high ceilings, whisper quiet split system cooling, solid wood doors and 5” white oak floors (polished concrete on lower level). Whole house water filtration system, waterproof back deck … too many features to mention.
