On Jersey City’s storied Doctors’ Row, 38 Bentley Avenue offers an exceptional opportunity to become the next steward of a home rich in history, craftsmanship, and presence. With its commanding turret, gracious front porch, and intricate period details, this Queen Anne Victorian captures the romance of another era and the possibility of making it entirely your own. The setting is equally impressive. An expansive 52-by-120-foot property encompasses approximately 6,240 square feet of land nearly two and a half times the area of a conventional 25-by-100-foot city lot. Here, generous grounds, a backyard pool, an entertaining deck, and a six-car driveway with a detached garage bring an extraordinary sense of space to urban living. A manicured hedge and garden path introduce the welcoming front porch, where a swing invites leisurely mornings and quiet evenings. Beyond the entrance, an elaborate foyer reveals the home’s architectural splendor: original stained-glass windows, chandeliers, richly patterned parquet floors, decorative columns, delicate fretwork, ornamental medallions, graceful archways, and beautifully detailed wainscoting. A sweeping wooden staircase rises through the home, illuminated by two stories of stained glass that cast jewel-toned light across the landing. The signature turret shapes distinctive curved rooms across all three floors. On the main level, it creates an unforgettable office or reading room, accented by a decorative tiled fireplace, intricate woodwork, and an inset mirror. Throughout the residence, craftsmanship and unexpected architectural details reward a closer look. Designed for both gracious entertaining and everyday life, the main floor unfolds through a formal dining room, an inviting living room with a fireplace, a full bathroom, and a kitchen. A rear hall and secondary staircase offer additional circulation, while an all-season porch connects the interior to the deck and pool a private setting for summer gatherings and afternoons at home. The second floor includes five bedrooms and 2 full bathroom, together with an unfinished adjoining room that presents the opportunity to envision a personalized primary suite, subject to the necessary approvals. Above, the dramatic roofline lends character to a loft-like third floor featuring two additional full-size bedrooms, an open living area, a full bathroom, and another captivating turret room. A partially finished lower level adds further flexibility, with an existing apartment-style layout, a laundry area, and an expansive workspace suited to hobbies, projects, and storage. Just a block from Lincoln Park, the home places green space and recreation close at hand from tennis courts, athletic fields, and a running track to walking and cycling paths, ponds, a landmark fountain, and the wetlands and bird-watching landscapes of Lincoln Park West. Neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and shops enrich the surrounding streets, while Skyway Golf and access to Journal Square PATH extend the lifestyle beyond the doorstep. Some restoration is needed, presenting a compelling opportunity to honor the home’s original craftsmanship while introducing your own vision for its next chapter. For the buyer drawn to architectural distinction, substantial outdoor space, and the enduring appeal of Doctors’ Row, this is a property that deserves to be experienced in person. A storied address. A grand architectural canvas. An invitation to create something exceptional. Schedule your private showing of 38 Bentley Avenue.

Some homes simply have a feeling. 88 Jewett Avenue is one of them. Built in 1884 and filled with the kind of character that simply can’t be recreated, this historic Jersey City rowhouse has evolved beautifully while holding onto the details that make it so special. Wide-plank and original wood flooring, stained glass, exposed brick, beautiful architectural details and historic fireplace details tell the story of the home’s past, while incredible natural light brings warmth to nearly every corner. The main living level is where this home really comes to life. A light-filled living room flows into the dining room and kitchen, creating spaces that feel just as right for quiet mornings as they do for long dinners with friends. The kitchen blends character with modern convenience, featuring a SMEG refrigerator, Café double-oven gas range, Bosch dishwasher, butcher-block counters and classic tilework. And then there are all the little places that make this house feel like home— a front balcony for morning coffee or a good book, an upper deck for dinner outside, a lower deck for entertaining, and beyond it all, a lush private backyard that feels like a hidden retreat in the middle of the city. At its heart is a mature fig tree, one more piece of a home that feels as though it has stories to tell. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath with heated floors offer a peaceful retreat, while the lower level adds tremendous flexibility for a den, studio, office or recreation space, along with a second full bath and dedicated laundry area. Mini-split heating and cooling installed in 2022, radiator heat via gas boiler, a water heater installed June 2025, updated electrical panel with two subpanels, and a sump pump and French drain bring modern comfort and practicality to this 19th-century home. There’s a story behind the address, too. Jewett Avenue was named for William Jewett, a noted American portrait painter, and 88 Jewett was part of a row of eight townhouses documented on an 1887 Jersey City fire map. It’s a small piece of Jersey City history that adds another layer of character to a home already full of it. The location is just as special. Set in McGinley Square, 88 Jewett is tucked between the neighborhood’s restaurant and café scenes along Bergen and Monticello Avenues, with Citi Bike right at the corner and Journal Square PATH approximately a 20-minute walk away— giving you neighborhood life right outside your door with easy access to the rest of Jersey City and NYC. It’s charming, timeless and completely its own— the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile.
