Step into this beautifully renovated duplex apartment spanning two floors of a classic Jersey City brownstone, ideally located in the heart of McGinley Square. This home offers a rare combination of scale, character, and modern updates, creating a space that lives more like a private home than a typical apartment. The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a spacious eat-in kitchen with a distinctive checkerboard floor, abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a dedicated dining nook that comfortably accommodates a full table. Just beyond, the living area highlights original hardwood floors, detailed ceiling medallions, and timeless architectural elements that reflect the buildingâ€™s Victorian brownstone heritage. A newly added half bath on this level provides added convenience for guests and daily use. Upstairs, the bedroom level continues to impress with well-proportioned rooms filled with natural light. The primary bedroom offers ample space for a full furniture set, while the secondary bedroom is equally versatile. An additional bonus room adds valuable flexibility and can easily function as a home office, nursery, guest room, or potential third bedroom depending on your needs. The full bathroom has been fully renovated and features a skylight, bringing in natural light that enhances the space. Washer and dryer hookup is also available for added convenience. Throughout the home, hardwood flooring continues, complemented by preserved original details that give the space warmth and authenticity while benefiting from recent updates that support modern living. Positioned in the center of McGinley Square, you are surrounded by a growing mix of local shops, restaurants, cafes, and everyday conveniences, along with a nearby public parking option. Easy access to public transportation makes commuting into New York City simple and efficient. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the charm of a historic brownstone with the comfort of modern updates, all in one of Jersey Cityâ€™s most dynamic and evolving neighborhoods.
