Occupying the entire top floor of an imposing 25 foot wide Brownstone originally constructed around 1880 in perhaps the most convenient and sought-after Downtown Jersey City location, this expansive, light-filled and move-in ready residence features an abundance of historic charm, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, and a spectacular private roof terrace so rarely attainable. The immaculately maintained home is outfitted with beautiful hardwood floors, Central AC and Heat, a working gas fireplace in the living room, recessed lights and generous storage throughout. The spacious chef’s kitchen boasts custom wood cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. Both bedrooms are ample in size and feature en-suite bathrooms. There are two skylights in the home--an original Victorian skylight in the stairwell and a new skylight in the bathroom. The large and private roofdeck terrace is an ideal urban refuge to relax. Additionally, there is a laundry room and a private storage space for the unit in the basement. Once an opulent mansion and now an intimate 4-unit condominium, 479 Jersey Avenue offers a stunning façade accentuated by intricate wrought iron fencing and railing as well as an iconic front stoop. This magnificent building stands across the street from the Jersey City Public Library with its stunning Renaissance Revival architectural design, and is moments to everything that makes Jersey City a great place to live including the playgrounds, dog parks, musical events and weekly farmer's market just a block away in Van Vorst Park, as well as Liberty State Park, Grove Street PATH, Ferry Station, Light Rail, CityHall, Liberty Science Center, independently owned shops, renowned restaurants, schools, and entertainment.
