7 Roosevelt Terrace

Description

Discover a rare opportunity to own a custom built center-hall colonial on one of Bayonne's most exclusive streets. Located on prestigious Roosevelt Terrace, home to some of the city's highest value properties, this stately 1950 single-family residence offers size, character, and timeless design that you simply won’t find anywhere else in town. Sitting on a beautiful corner lot just three short blocks from Hudson County Park, this home makes an immediate impression. Inside, the main level follows a true center-hall layout. To one side is a spacious formal living room with a soapstone mantle and two French doors leading to the slate patio. To the other side sits the elegant formal dining room. From there, the home flows into a charming breakfast nook and the original kitchen, featuring preserved details rarely seen today, including built-in bread boxes and a dedicated bread kneading station. Toward the rear of the home, you'll find a second living area that works perfectly as a study or den. A retro half bath with stained-glass accents completes the floor. Upstairs, you’ll discover four oversized bedrooms, all on the same level, a standout feature in Bayonne. Each room easily accommodates any size bed, with space to spare. One of the bedrooms includes access to a flat roof area above the garage, offering incredible potential for a future rooftop deck or private outdoor retreat. The second floor also includes two beautifully preserved full bathrooms. One highlighted by original tilework and stained glass, and another exceptionally large, fully tiled suite offering a soaking tub, separate shower with body jets, and convenient hallway access. These spaces reflect the craftsmanship of their era and are ideal for anyone who appreciates authentic mid-century design. Throughout the home, hardwood floors, natural light, and solid custom construction anchor every level. The basement is expansive and ready to be reimagined. It includes a large recreation room with fireplace, a full bathroom, a sauna with an additional shower, a storage/office room, and a dedicated laundry area. A two-car attached garage completes the property. Many of the home's finishes are in beautifully preserved original condition, offering both charm and the potential for thoughtful personalization. Combined with its location on one of Bayonne’s most coveted streets, this creates an opportunity that is seldom available. As Bayonne continues to draw major investment, including the pending arrival of the 1888 Studios project and ferry service, this area is poised for continued growth. With a quick commute to NYC plus shops, restaurants, schools, and the park nearby, 7 Roosevelt Terrace offers a lifestyle that's as special as the home itself. Schedule a showing today!
