141 Gifford Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07304

Located on arguably the most beautiful street of Jersey City and only a few yards away from the fabled Lincoln Park, this recently restored grand and elegant English Cottage leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. The historic dwelling, built in 1912, sits on a large 50 x 100 lot and features off-street parking and an expansive, beautifully landscaped backyard. The house has been thoroughly modernized in 2015 with a new kitchen, new bathrooms, two-zone Central AC & Central Heating as back-up heating, antique radiators as main heating, radiant floor heating in the kitchen & primary bathroom, built-in humidifier, on-demand hot water heater, Nest thermostats, ADT alarm system, a new laundry room and central vacuum system on all four floors including the basement. Most recently, the brand-new roof and gutters were installed in 2019. The astonishingly beautiful kitchen is furnished with custom wood cabinets hand-made by a local craftsman, soapstone counter-tops & sink, an integrated dishwasher, Aga Cooker, a commercial refrigerator, a built-in glass cupboard and a charmingly redone powder room. The house retains most of its original characters owing to the thoughtful renovation and features two wood-burning fireplaces with original mantles, original hardwood floors, moldings, restored lead glass windows and a light-filled central staircase. The primary bedroom occupies the entire third floor with an exquisitely designed bathroom with a soaking tub, its own sitting room and a fully built-out dressing room. Three additional bedrooms including a second master suite and two full bathrooms are housed on the second floor. In addition to the huge backyard, the house also features a sizable front porch and an enchanting, covered balcony on the second floor. Ample closets and storage spaces are found throughout. The house enjoys the views of the leafy Lincoln Park and beautiful natural light through large windows on all four sides. With easy access to NYC via Journal Square PATH, the stunning 'English Cottage' stands a house away from Lincoln Park, a crown jewel of the Hudson County Park System with a 9-hole golf course, 21 tennis courts, numerous sports fields, a lake, trails and a restored fountain from the turn of the century. This is a rare opportunity to move right into a fully restored house in the highly sought-after, historic Lincoln Park neighborhood.
