Welcome to this prime Journal Square two-family investment opportunity, just five short blocks from the PATH station for an effortless NYC commute. Perfectly situated near supermarkets, popular local restaurants, and St. Peter’s University, this home offers incredible convenience along with strong rental appeal. Set on an oversized 25x100 lot, the property features recent updates including a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, along with two separate water heaters—one replaced in 2024 and the other in 2010—for added efficiency and peace of mind. The first unit offers a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath layout that can easily accommodate a king bed in one room and a full in the other, making it ideal for tenants seeking generous space or an owner-occupant. The second unit includes two bedrooms, one bath, and a sunny den with a window that can double as a home office or an additional bedroom. The bedrooms comfortably fit king- and full-size beds, while the den can hold a twin, offering flexibility for a growing household. The property also includes a bonus attic level with three separate rooms, each large enough to be used as bedrooms, giving you the potential to maximize income or expand usable living space. Outside, the private backyard features a tool shed and ample space for storage, gardening, or creating your own outdoor retreat. The large lot also leaves room for future possibilities or simply adds to the rare sense of spaciousness in Jersey City. This legal two-family residence presents the perfect combination of convenience, versatility, and investment potential. Whether you are a savvy investor looking for strong rental income or a buyer hoping to live in one unit while offsetting your mortgage with rental income, this home checks all the boxes in one of the most desirable locations in Jersey City.
