Property Description
Own a piece of history with your very own four-story 20' brownstone in the heart of Paulus Hook. 66 Sussex is a home with history, prestige, and elegance. Original details throughout include marble mantels, plaster moldings, wide-plank floors, and the original stairs with balustrade - the kind of craftsmanship that cannot be reproduced. The location could not be better, with just a 2 block walk to the Exchange Place PATH and the ferry to Lower Manhattan. This is the most sought-after block in all of downtown Jersey City. Set on a 20' x 100' lot, the home is a legal three-family with four living levels. The owner's duplex offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, eat-in kitchen, in-unit laundry, and exclusive use of a deep 800 sq. ft. yard with patio. Above, two floor-through 2-bedroom apartments produce steady income with no rent control. This home offers a rare opportunity: live in a beautifully detailed owner's unit while the leased units offset expenses, make the whole building your own, or land somewhere in between. The house is fully livable today and equally suited to a thoughtful renovation that brings it back to its full glory. A separately deeded tandem garage a half block away, large enough for two cars, is available for purchase with this home. A true rarity in downtown. This home even has a bit of film history; this house appeared in the 1995 Warner Bros. film Boys on the Side, standing in as the New York home of Whoopi Goldberg's character. Being in Paulus Hook means a short walk to two PATH stations (Exchange Place and Grove Street), multiple Citibike locations, and the Light Rail. The neighborhood features excellent public and private school options close by, including top-rated (10 out of 10!) PS 16, the River School, Waterfront Montessori, McNair, and St. Peter's Prep. Plus there's a multitude of restaurants, cafes, shops, Whole Foods, the (soon to open) Trader Joe's, and Base gym within a few blocks' radius; the location is unbeatable!
