74 Sherman Pl Jersey City, NJ 07307

In the same family for nearly a century, 74 Sherman Place offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Jersey City history. Located in the bustling neighborhood of Jersey City Heights, with convenient access to Manhattan, this 19th-century Italianate Victorian sits on a beautiful tree-lined street surrounded by elegant Victorian-era homes. Set behind wrought-iron fencing and lush gardens, the home has been cherished by generations of family and admired by friends and local residents alike since the late 1800's. A colorful tiled vestibule and stained-glass doors introduce interiors defined by soaring ceilings, intricate plasterwork, stately woodwork, and beautiful parquet floors-a level of craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction. These enduring details reflect the artistry of an era when even the smallest elements were thoughtfully considered. The formal parlor features a gas fireplace and etched-glass pocket doors opening to a music salon, where sculpted instruments adorn the ceiling. Across the hall, the formal dining room showcases ceiling murals, a bay window, and original Lincrusta wall covering. A butler's pantry connects to the eat-in kitchen overlooking the private gardens. The second floor offers five bedrooms, a bright home office, and a distinctive bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub and swan stained-glass window. The expansive finished attic, once an art studio, provides flexible space for a private work-from-home retreat, recreation, or continuing the home's artistic legacy. A tucked-away staircase leads to the tower. Situated on a 58-by-204-foot lot, the grounds feature a welcoming front porch, mature sycamore trees, flowering gardens, and a rear stone patio. A separate carriage house includes a two-bedroom apartment with pine plank floors, soaring ceilings, and an open living area. As a legal two-family residence, the property offers the flexibility to accommodate extended family or generate rental income while enjoying the privacy of a separate main home. The carriage house's updated kitchen features quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by central heating and cooling and in-unit laundry. Four garage spaces and a long driveway provide valuable off-street parking, while a full walk-out basement offers additional storage. Rich in architectural detail and reflecting generations of pride of ownership, 74 Sherman Place is ready for its next chapter.
