Tucked behind Ogden Avenue with panoramic views of NYC, 133 Mountain Road is Jersey City’s best-kept secret. This Bauhaus-style former factory, situated on a 75’ x 85’ lot is now an impressive and expansive single-family home featuring 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, natural light throughout, an incredible garden and garage. Originally built in 1850, this property has a remarkable past as a jewelry factory and the workshop of the late Theodore Conrad who is well-known for his career as an architectural model maker and a pioneer of preservation efforts for historical landmarks in Jersey City. Accessing through the 250 Ogden Rear alleyway, you are guided to the most charming sunroom entrance framed by a gorgeous red Chinese maple tree leading you into the breathtaking main living space. The kitchen features plentiful cabinetry and counter space, an under-sink water filtration system, a pot filler, wine fridge and a glass block feature wall overlooking the dedicated dining area fit for a 10-seat table perfect for hosting holidays. The living area glows with natural light pouring in from the skylight with picture frame windows looking into the first bedroom, which has a small balcony and an en-suite full bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and steam shower. Don’t miss the ladder that leads to the hidden bonus room with direct city views great for a greenhouse, office, playroom or storage. The second bedroom has built-in shelving and the original loft factory windows that look out to the garden with additional space for a sitting room, library or office. Upstairs is the third bedroom, which includes an en-suite half bathroom with a closet, a wood-burning fireplace, a large East-facing balcony and a rare outdoor shower. Downstairs is currently being used as a painting studio with multiple closets and additional crawlspace storage, or it can be transformed into another living space or workshop. The low-maintenance spacious garden features walking paths, a seating area, and garden beds. Expect blooms every year from fig & crabapple trees, rose bushes, ferns, creeping thyme ground cover, herbs and more. The suburban-sized garage can easily fit two cars or more and is accessible on the Mountain Rd side of the property. Located in the highly coveted Riverview Arts District of the Heights, this intimately private home offers the perfect balance of tranquility with birds playfully chirping and accessibility to some of the city's most beloved cafes, restaurants & bars, Riverview Park (with playgrounds and farmers' markets), and light rail and bus service to NYC/PATH stations.
