About This Home
In a quiet pocket of Jersey City Heights, this newly renovated property offers NOT ONE, BUT TWO distinctive residences. The main building features two rental units plus a bonus basement suite, each designed with modern finishes and inviting spaces. Tucked away at the rear, the carriage house serves as a private single-family home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a charming porch. Together, these residences present a standout investment opportunity, blending timeless character with contemporary comfort and long-term value. It’s a turnkey opportunity for investors—or those seeking passive income with the upside of living in a newly refinished home. Just blocks from beautiful Leonard Gordon Park or Pershing Field Park & Reservoir, and walking distance to charming local eateries like Dulce de Leche bakery and Central Avenue, this property is poised for success. Catching the eye with curb appeal, the gray siding and crisp white trim invite you into the main home. Inside, the lower duplex spans two stories, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a downstairs bonus room with wet bar, and access to the backyard. Wide plank floors and carved wood banisters add warmth and craftsmanship. Upstairs, a second unit awaits with one bedroom plus two flexible dens. Timeless crown molding and a bay window offer a statement piece in the bedroom, while the additional den spaces provide a perfect office, guest room, or creative space. In the kitchen, tile floors provide durability, while black quartz counters and white shaker cabinets strike a clean, modern tone. Each bathroom is finished to the ceiling in tile, plus features like built-in shower shelves for thoughtful storage. Tucked behind the main home, the carriage house is a hidden gem: two levels, two bedrooms, two baths, and its own private deck. With finishes echoing the main house, this standalone ADU feels cohesive yet independent—ideal for long-term tenants, visiting guests, or a boutique-style rental. Located near Riverview-Fisk Park, vibrant Palisade Avenue, and quick routes to Hoboken and NYC, this property promises lifestyle and location in equal measure. Jersey City Heights is known for its eclectic vibe, excellent parks, great community and easy NYC access.
