The original houses were in too poor shape to renovate, so they were completely rebuilt. Two very narrow lots, three story maximum stories allowed, and tight footprints required some re-thinking of the typical townhouse layout.
The first floors have kitchens and foyers by the street entrance, with living/dining rooms facing south to the small rear yards that separate the houses from their carports on an alley. The second floors have bedrooms front and rear, with a bathroom and a mechanical/laundry room in between.
The top floors are master suites, featuring south-facing bedrooms with private decks and street facing master baths. The windows in the bathrooms start at five feet above the floor, so the shower and bathtub, located against the front wall, have a view of the sky.
The floors are long and narrow, so there are skylights in the master suite sitting and dressing areas, and the second floor bedrooms have barn-type sliding doors and frosted glass panels to admit natural light to the stair hall.
The street elevation was designed to give each house an identity, but read as “twins” as well. Both homes sold for full asking price on the day they were offered for sale, partly because of the design, but also because the developer provided something not seen in decades: New single family three-bedroom townhouses in Downtown Jersey City with off-street parking.
