    What's special

    South-facing balconyFloor to ceiling cabinetryCloset systemsThoughtful storageCustom built-in bookshelvesOversized railroad style
    This well-loved and well-kept apartment in the charming and historic Hamilton Park neighborhood sits directly on the park with unobscured views. A commuter's dream, you'll be directly across from the bus stop from the 126 which heads to the city via Hoboken. Enjoy a quick 10-minute walk to the Grove Street path station and 15-minute walk to Newport path station. In all directions, enjoy expansive Citi bike docking stations steps away from your front door. This oversized railroad style affords plenty of space for living, working, and hosting. Your dining nook accommodates six seats at a full sized dining table. The hallway alcove can easily house a desk or Peloton. Off the bedroom, enjoy a south-facing balcony overlooking beautiful downtown Jersey City, with plenty of space for furniture and plants. Thoughtful storage at every turn is a huge draw of this unit, including floor to ceiling cabinetry in the galley kitchen, closet systems in the bedroom and hallway closets, and custom built-in bookshelves. We (the owners) are in the process of moving and are including photos from 2020 when the unit was purchased. We will update with current photos ASAP which reflect recent renovations to the bathroom, the custom built-in book shelves, and fresh paint throughout. Move-in date flexibility is available. We are animal-lovers, but approval of pets is subject to owner's discretion on a case-by-case basis. Tenant pays for PSE&G and cable/internet (currently set up for Verizon); owner pays for water, building utilities, garbage, building management fees. Non-smoking unit and building. Street parking available through Jersey City municipality. Tenant responsible for basic maintenance (lightbulb changes, keeping appliances in clean, working condition).
