Description

17-19 Schuyler Place Where History Meets Home. Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others tell a story. One of Bayonne's distinguished, 3 family with parking, turn-of-the-century residences, 17-19 Schuyler Place brings together timeless architecture, rich local history, and modern functionality on an impressive 57' x 154' property with abundant parking and an in-ground swimming pool. Originally constructed with striking Victorian architecture featuring Queen Anne influences, this stately home remains a remarkable example of the craftsmanship and elegance that defined some of Bayonne's most distinctive residences of the early 1900s. Its steep front-facing gable, soaring roofline, tall narrow windows, and classic architectural detailing create a commanding presence rarely found today. Stepping inside, you'll discover a property that has evolved beautifully over time while honoring its historic character. The spacious owner's residence features a thoughtfully designed addition centered around a spectacular chef's kitchen complete with premium appliances, including a stunning oversized Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator, new range, and new dishwasher. The exterior of this addition as well as a majority of the home is high-quality vinyl faux-brick material designed to provide the benefits of a more modern exterior material. The luxurious primary bath offers a large bubble soaking tub and separate shower, creating a private retreat within the home. Rich details, including beautiful mahogany porch flooring, reflect the quality craftsmanship found throughout the residence. The home also retains Nonfunctional fireplaces that contribute to its historic character and architectural charm; however, all fireplaces are decorative only and are not represented as operational. Behind the scenes, this property has been extensively improved with today's buyer in mind. Significant upgrades include separate gas, electric, furnaces, 3 new water heaters, and utilities for each residence; a professionally excavated basement providing increased ceiling height and a full bathroom; central air conditioning for the owner's addition; a Generac generator servicing the basement and first-floor addition; French drains; dual sump pumps; and automatic water heater shut-off systems, offering peace of mind for years to come. The roof was replaced in 2018, further enhancing the property's long-term value and reliability. The property offers three residential units, providing exceptional flexibility for owner-occupants, multigenerational living, or investors seeking strong rental income while enjoying one of Bayonne's most distinctive homes. Outside, the oversized grounds continue to impress. The deep property offers parking for approximately six vehicles, a rarity in Bayonne. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the inviting in-ground swimming pool, featuring a new liner installed in September 2025, creating an exceptional private outdoor retreat seldom found in multifamily properties. What truly sets this home apart is not simply its size or extensive improvements, but its place in Bayonne's history. Adding another layer to this remarkable property's story, ongoing historical research has uncovered a possible connection to noted Bayonne watercolor artist Anna Lindner, whose work celebrated the city's beauty more than a century ago. Whether or not future research confirms that association, the home's preserved architecture, enduring craftsmanship, and unmistakable turn-of-the-century character offer a tangible link to Bayonne's rich cultural heritage. Properties of this caliber rarely become available. Combining historic character, distinguished Victorian architecture with Queen Anne influences, generous grounds, thoughtful modern upgrades, exceptional parking, resort-like outdoor living, and outstanding income-producing potential, 17-19 Schuyler Place represents a truly unique opportunity to own one of Bayonne's most recognizable and admired homes.
