Property Description
Classic BROWNSTONE charm meets modern renovation in this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home featuring a FULLY FINISHED WALK-OUT BASEMENT in the sought-after West Bergen section of Jersey City, just off John F. Kennedy Boulevard. Filled with natural light and thoughtfully redesigned for today's lifestyle, this expansive residence showcases beautiful hardwood floors, central A/C, and updated bathrooms throughout. Unlike many traditional Brownstones, the home is attached on only one side, allowing for additional natural light and enhanced privacy. The main level features a spacious bedroom, inviting living area, and a stunning designer kitchen highlighted by a 7-foot quartz island, sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, you'll find 4 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a private en-suite bath. The lower level significantly expands the home's living space with 2 additional rooms, a full bathroom, a dedicated laundry area with washer and dryer, and direct access to a private BACKYARD OASIS, creating endless possibilities for recreation, guests, a home office, gym, or extended living space. Conveniently located near local shops, restaurants, parks, and the West Side Avenue Light Rail Station, offering easy access throughout Jersey City and into NYC. The kind of Brownstone buyers wait for-rich in character, updated for modern living, and offering room to grow across every level.
