About 254 4th St
Welcome to 254 4th Street, a stately 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath historic residence spanning 3,400 square feet in the heart of Downtown Jersey City. Built in 1886 by architect Edward Simon, this Italianate-style 2-family home features an elaborate wood cornice, brick lintels, and terra cotta insets. Commissioned by Benjamin Murphy, a Civil War veteran and Jersey City’s Chief of Police from 1879 to 1906, this home is rich in local heritage. Set on a picturesque tree-lined street, it blends 1880s charm with modern design. The parlor level offers three living spaces, bay windows, a gas fireplace, and a chef’s kitchen with quartz island, premium KitchenAid appliances, and direct access to a serene deck and garden. The third floor features three sun-filled bedrooms and a designer full bath with Grohe fixtures. The top floor boasts a private primary suite with bay windows, walk-in closet, spa-like marble 5-piece bath, nursery or office, guest bath, washer/dryer, and wet bar. A staircase leads to a commercial-grade roof, ideal for a future deck. Updates include new plumbing, 200-amp electric, and 3-zone HVAC. The garden unit has a private entry, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and living space—ideal for guests, income, or Airbnb. Zoned for P.S. 37 and near parks, PATH, shops, and top schools, this home is a rare blend of history, comfort, and location.
