About This Home
Welcome to Gloria Gables, an iconic pre-war Mediterranean Art Deco building in the heart of historic Lincoln Park. This oversized 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers nearly 1,800 sq ft of timeless charm blended with modern upgrades. Featured in the film Two Lovers starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix, this residence showcases stunning original details including rich hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and the elegant character you expect in a historic home. The spacious, beautifully renovated kitchen features KitchenAid appliances, Kohler fixtures, a deep farmhouse-style sink, abundant cabinetry, and thoughtfully selected tilework. The serene primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and warm Spanish-style tile. The building also offers a shared landscaped backyard perfect for dining alfresco with the lush backdrop of Lincoln Park just beyond. A well-run building with a live-in superintendent, Gloria Gables is meticulously maintained and offers exceptional convenience. Commuters will love the accessibility: buses in both directions just half a block away, CitiBike nearby, and the Journal Square PATH a little over a mile away.

Nestled on the Bergen Neck peninsula on the west side of the Hudson River, Jersey City has long prospered as an idyllic city for commuters — especially those who wish to be close to Manhattan without paying Manhattan’s upscale rates. Commonly known as the “Sixth Borough,” Jersey City is a thriving community offering residents both modern conveniences and major attractions.
Journal Square is the center of Jersey City, serving as the central business district and transportation hub for PATH Rapid Transit. It’s also home to retailers, restaurants, and luxury apartments. Closer to the river you’ll find trendy neighborhoods like Historic Downtown and Powerhouse Arts District. These bustling neighborhoods are home to an array of gourmet restaurants, bars, art galleries, music lounges, and the Newport Centre Mall.
Residents enjoy sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline from the east side of Jersey City.
