Home Details

Welcome to 254 4th Street, a stately 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath historic residence spread over 3,400 square feet nestled in the heart of downtown Jersey City. Originally designed in 1886 by English architect Edward Simon, this 2-family home reflects the elegance of the Italianate style, showcasing an elaborate bracketed wood cornice, decorative brick lintels, and beautiful terra cotta insets beneath each bay window. Built for Benjamin Murphy, one of the most prominent figures in Jersey City’s history and its Chief of Police from 1879 to 1906, the property is steeped in rich local heritage. Before his service in law enforcement, Murphy fought in the Civil War as part of the 8th New Jersey Infantry, seeing action in major battles including Gettysburg and Chancellorsville. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined stretch of Fourth Street, amidst historic brownstones, this residence exquisitely merges the timeless allure of 1880s architecture with meticulous design. Inside, this expansive home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. The welcoming Parlor level thoughtfully crafted for both relaxation and entertainment offers three distinct living spaces, sundrenched living room with spectacular original bay windows and working gas fireplace, formal dining room and spacious chef's kitchen, complete with half bath. The kitchen is fully outfitted with KitchenAid appliances, including a French Door Refrigerator; 36" Commercial-Style dual fuel convection range, and a Built-In Convection Microwave Oven above a Built-In Electric Oven; all complete with ample storage and the oversized quartz island. Directly off your kitchen is the serene deck and garden access, perfect for al fresco dinners or entertaining. The third-floor hosts three generously proportioned bedrooms, awash with natural light, providing ample options for bedrooms, home offices, in-home gyms and more. The full bath highlights designer tile with penny tile border, a frameless shower and Grohe fixtures. The top level includes the primary suite, additional bedroom, perfectly suited as a nursery or home office, guest bathroom with tub. The private primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat with gorgeous bay windows overlooking the tree lined street for the ultimate relaxation. Walk through your custom-built closet and into the elegantly designed marble tiled primary 5-piece bath complete with claw foot soaking tub, dual marble vanities, and glass enclosed shower with premium Grohe fixtures. The top level is completed with the convenience of a stacked washer and dryer and full wet bar with refrigerator, and sink. Lastly the opportunity to build your own rooftop oasis awaits you, this home features a rarely available full staircase and commercial grade access hatch to the commercial finished roof intended to support a roof deck. No aspect of this home has been overlooked. Every detail has been meticulously updated, from new plumbing and upgraded 200-amp electric service, to fully renovated baths, a state-of-the-art kitchen, flooring, and 3 zones of HVAC. The garden-level unit, with its own private entrance, offers an incredible opportunity for long-term rental income, Airbnb potential, or extended family stays. Thoughtfully renovated, it includes a spacious bedroom, updated bath, and a comfortable living area. Zoned for P.S. 37 and located just minutes from top-rated schools like the French-American Academy, Scandi School and McNair Academic High School, this home is surrounded by Downtown Jersey City’s best amenities. Enjoy a short stroll to Hamilton Park and a vibrant mix of boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, cozy cafés, and lively nightlife. With the Grove Street PATH station just blocks away, commuting to Manhattan is seamless. This extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Jersey City history, enhanced with the comfort and style of modern living—all in one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.
