218 5th St, Jc, Centre Ville, New Jersey, 07302

This historic home is waiting for you: a true project house on a coveted 20’ x 100’ lot, ready for its next chapter. Currently a 3-level single-family home with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 218 Fifth Street is a blank-canvas opportunity for the renovator, builder, or investor willing to bring their vision to life. It comes with a head start, it has prior approvals for going up one level that includes a rooftop deck and a full rear extension with the option to convert to a two family. Outside, a private backyard backs directly onto the historic Harsimus Cove Embankment, a green and protected buffer that makes this a rare find. Parking is covered too, with a private driveway fitting one car at front and a second can be parked on street also. Steps to the PATH train, NY Waterway Ferry, and NJ Transit bus lines, with easy access to all major thoroughfares. Moments from the cafés, pubs, and restaurants around Grove Street Plaza, the Hudson River waterfront, parks, schools, and medical facilities, everything that makes Downtown Jersey City one of the region’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods, all with a quick, easy commute into NYC via PATH, Bus or ferry. Homes with this combination of historic-district character, lot size, parking, and an already-designed growth path rarely come to market. 218 Fifth Street is ready for someone to make it their own.
