74 Sherman Pl, Jersey City, NJ 07307

Description

In the same family for nearly a century, 74 Sherman Place offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Jersey City history. This 19th-century Italianate Victorian sits on a beautiful tree-lined street surrounded by elegant Victorian-era homes. A colorful tiled vestibule and stained-glass doors introduce interiors defined by soaring ceilings, intricate plasterwork, stately woodwork, and beautiful parquet floors—a level of craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction. The formal parlor features a gas fireplace & etched-glass pocket doors opening to a music salon, where sculpted instruments adorn the ceiling. Across the hall, the formal dining room showcases ceiling murals, a bay window, & original Lincrusta wall covering. A butler’s pantry connects to the eat-in kitchen overlooking the private gardens. The second floor offers 5 bedrooms, a bright home office, & a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub + stained-glass window. The expansive finished attic, once an art studio, provides flexible space for a private work-from-home retreat or continuing the home’s artistic legacy. The grounds feature a welcoming front porch, mature trees, & a rear stone patio. A separate carriage house includes a 2-bedroom apt with pine plank floors & soaring ceilings- complemented by HVAC & in-unit laundry. 4 garage spaces + a long driveway provide valuable parking. Rich in architectural detail, 74 Sherman Place is ready for its next chapter.
