Subtle Art Deco detailing complements the home's original architecture, creating an interior that truly feels curated. The kitchen has both function and character, featuring tin ceilings, stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops and a six-burner Viking range, blending detail with professional grade utility. The layout encourages both formal entertaining and everyday living without compromise. The upper level is composed of three well proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering flexibility for guest accommodations or home office use. A private rear yard provides a quiet outdoor extension of the home, well-suited for entertaining. The basement features an unfinished bathroom that can be renovated and additional space for an extra bedroom to be added. Street parking is mostly accessible on Bergen Avenue and Oak Street This residence presents an uncommon combination of historic integrity, architectural scale, and outdoor space, set within one of Jersey City's established and culturally rich neighborhoods. An offering for those who value authenticity, proportion, and timeless design.
