Description

Welcome to Gloria Gables, one of Jersey City’s most admired pre-war Mediterranean Art Deco buildings, nestled in the heart of the historic Lincoln Park neighborhood. This oversized 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is truly one of a kind — so cinematic, in fact, it was featured in the film Two Lovers starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix. Step inside and experience the unmistakable charm that only a pre-war home can offer: original moldings, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, grand proportions, and sun-filled rooms throughout. Blending seamlessly with these timeless details is a fully updated modern chef’s kitchen, complete with KitchenAid appliances, Kohler finishes, a deep farmhouse-style sink, abundant cabinetry, and beautifully laid tilework that elevates the entire space. The serene primary suite features a rich and inviting Spanish-tiled bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub — your own private retreat at the end of the day. Enjoy the best of indoor/outdoor living with al fresco dining in the building’s shared backyard, framed by the majestic greenery of Lincoln Park, just moments away. Additional conveniences include a live-in super who keeps the building impeccably maintained, plus unbeatable access to transportation. Commuters will love having bus lines just half a block in both directions, CitiBike stations nearby, and the Journal Square PATH a little over a mile away. Even better — this home qualifies for a low-down-payment loan, making it an exceptional opportunity to own a rare piece of Jersey City history. * Many pictures have been virtually staged
