Situated directly beside its equally distinguished twin, this gracious circa-1880s Victorian two-family stands proudly on one of Jersey City Heights’ most cherished streets—Sherman Place. Set on an expansive 37 x 194 lot, this residence is a masterclass in preserved historic detail and modern-day versatility, offering 4 bedrooms in the primary unit, a fully renovated garden apartment, and rare off-street multi-car parking—all within steps of vibrant parks, transit, and the Central Avenue shopping district. From the exterior, classic Victorian lines, corbel brackets, scalloped shingles, and a deep front porch with decorative trim evoke the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Inside, hardwood floors with detailed inlays, pocket doors, oversized windows, and intricate moldings reveal the home’s storied past—while updated systems including 3 separate HVAC's servicing each floor, and functional enhancements create a turnkey living experience. The main 4-bedroom, 2-bath duplex is thoughtfully laid out across two sunlit levels. The parlor floor welcomes you with a grand bay window in the living room, anchored by a beautifully detailed stone fireplace and high ceiling with plaster medallion. The adjacent den features custom built-ins and wall-to-wall shelving—an ideal creative workspace or reading retreat. The formal dining room, adorned with a classic chandelier and decorative border inlay, connects seamlessly to a generous eat-in kitchen outfitted with wood cabinetry, a large center island with bar seating, stainless appliances, and a charming built-in window bench. A glass-paneled rear door leads directly to a spacious deck overlooking the deep backyard—an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or quiet morning coffee. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or additional workspace. The full bathroom is tastefully finished, and a convenient laundry closet adds to the home’s functionality. Above it all, the expansive unfinished attic with a soaring 18' ceiling provides exciting potential- whether as a luxurious primary suite, lofted studio, or flexible recreational space. The garden-level 2-bedroom apartment is fully renovated also equipped with Central Heat & A/C—perfect for rental income or multigenerational living. Off-street parking via the long driveway is a major asset in this coveted neighborhood and favorable zoning allows for some expansion. Perfectly positioned on one of the Heights’ most historic and tightly held blocks, this home is just moments from Pershing Field and Riverview-Fisk Parks, Central Avenue shops, cafes, and NYC transit via Journal Square PATH or nearby bus lines. Whether purchased individually or alongside its neighboring counterpart, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Jersey City history—full of warmth, elegance, and future potential.
