Deeded parking. In-unit laundry. No stairs. Finding one of the three in downtown Jersey City is lucky, finding all three in the same home is nearly impossible. This first floor one bedroom sits in a classic red brick building on a quiet block in Van Vorst Park. The living room has a full-height exposed brick chimney with the original arched hearth, oak hardwood floors, and two large windows that keep the room bright through the day. There's plenty of space for a sofa, a table, and a desk, plus a deep shelved closet keeps everything out of sight. The kitchen is open to the living area. Granite counters, white subway tile backsplash, full size stainless appliances including a gas range, dishwasher and built-in microwave. The breakfast bar seats three. The full size LG washer and dryer is right there, along with extra pantry storage under the counter. The bedroom comfortably fits a queen bed with room to spare. Two windows, a ceiling fan, a good sized closet, and a glass French door that lets light through even when the door is closed, so the space never feels closed off. The bathroom has a fully tiled stall shower, pedestal sink, and two medicine cabinets, which is more storage than you usually get in a one bedroom this size. For the commuter, quick and easy access to Rt. 78 and your deeded parking space is just a few steps from the front door. In this part of downtown, where street parking is a daily competition, having a dedicated spot that comes with the unit is a rare and meaningful advantage. Buyers who have parked in this neighborhood understand exactly what that's worth. The location speaks for itself. Van Vorst Park and it's Saturday farmers market are around the corner. Grove Street PATH is about a 12 minute walk, putting you in the World Trade Center in minutes and Midtown shortly after. Exchange Place, the light rail, and the ferry are all easily reachable, and the restaurants, coffee shops, and bars of downtown Jersey City are spread across the blocks just around you. Homes this size with both deeded parking and in-unit laundry rarely come to market here. Come see it before it's gone.
