Deeded parking. In-unit laundry. No stairs. Finding one in downtown Jersey City is lucky; finding all three in one home is nearly impossible. This first-floor one bedroom sits in a classic red brick building on a quiet Van Vorst Park block. The living room has a full-height exposed brick chimney with the original arched hearth, oak hardwood floors, and two large windows that keep it bright all day, with room for a sofa, table, and desk plus a deep shelved closet. The open kitchen offers granite counters, subway tile backsplash, and full-size stainless appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The breakfast bar seats three, and a full-size LG washer and dryer sits alongside extra pantry storage. The bedroom fits a queen with room to spare, with two windows, a ceiling fan, a good-sized closet, and a glass French door that keeps it bright even when closed. The bathroom has a fully tiled stall shower, pedestal sink, and two medicine cabinets. Your deeded spot is steps from the front door, a rare advantage where street parking is a daily competition. Van Vorst Park and its Saturday farmers market are around the corner, Grove Street PATH is about a 12-minute walk to WTC and Midtown, and Exchange Place, the light rail, and the ferry are easily reachable, with downtown's dining and nightlife all around.
