About 221 Terrace Ave
Whimsical and enchanting, this classically refinished single family home welcomes in Western Slope. Tucked along a tranquil, tree-lined street in this quiet corner of Jersey City Heights, the three-story floorplan offers three bedrooms, two baths, a bonus room and an oversized backyard. Defying cookie-cutter conventions, this property brings a strong interior art deco influence punctuated by architectural archways and modern upgrades, including radiant heat flooring on the first floor. Step into beautiful hardwood floors and a sun-drenched living space that flows effortlessly downstairs to the main living area. The eat-in kitchen showcases white quartz counters, herringbone tile backsplash, grey shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances. A dedicated butler’s pantry adds storage and polish, while the floorplan gives space for a formal dining table or casual breakfast nook, take your pick. Upstairs offers a loft-like bonus space perfect for flexible living space, alongside an oversized additional bedroom. Bathrooms are beautifully finished with details like Caribbean blue porcelain tile to the ceiling, frosted windows for natural light and privacy, and glass showers with rain and multi-spray systems. Closets and built-in shelves a peppered throughout, allowing everyday living to be easily organized. The lower level also features an oversized mudroom with direct outdoor access giving rare functionality and flow. The grande finale is the large private backyard with the kind of space that invites summer BBQs, gardening projects, and four-legged friends to roam free. Finished in classic tan siding and full of unexpected charm, this home embodies the spirit of Jersey City Heights. Western Slope is known for its quiet neighborhood feel while still offering all the amenities of Jersey City Heights. Owners enjoy close proximity to thoroughfares like JFK Blvd and US 1 & 9, plus Leonard Gordon Park, and nearby boutique shops and restaurants.
