Description

Welcome to unquestionably the most Unique Architectural Achievement of a factory conversion that New Jersey has ever seen. The current home of the Village West Gallery is located in a chic, hip Downtown Jersey City neighborhood. Encompassing a rich history of an original glass and bottle factory, it has been reinvented and restored with meticulous attention to detail and artisan craftsmanship to its current architectural grandeur. Currently used as a massive 2 bedroom , 3 full and 2 half bathroom home that can easily be converted to 5 bedrooms complemented by a majestic grand ballroom, with stone waterfall wall, an expansive wet bar with a wine cooler and refrigerator, dishwasher and a Miele coffee-brewing station, Art Gallery, Library, indoor gym, 3 palatial outdoor patios offering exquisite NYC views, plus your own putting green, which can be reconverted to a rooftop pool. Upon entering you will appreciate the open lofted energy throughout, conveyed by soaring ceilings, large windows and skylights, affording natural, ambient lighting throughout (1 of 3 in the USA). This is enhanced by a rare roof-installed Parans Lighting System of fiber-optic cables that delivers natural sunlight throughout the home. You will applaud the magnificent atmosphere, displaying something interesting at every turn including a glass-enclosed freight elevator which serves as a visual center, antique heart-pine stairway with brass risers, superb brass railings and newel posts, hand restored original beams, wide plank flooring, vintage 1910 mahogany bathroom doors and exceptional hand painted murals which add a glamorous and charming appeal. The Kitchen is a creative center for the serious chef, providing a pro-style 4'wide 6 burner gas range with a grill and warming station, a 4' wide SubZero refrigerator, disposal, farm style sink, quartz counters and custom cabinetry crafted by Jersey City's Sandkamp Woodworks. Currently used as a single family residence with an art gallery on the ground level, it falls under NJ zoning for residential and commercial use, providing several options to consider. Rare and very desirable features include a heated 4 car garage, which includes a 240 volt charger outlet for electric powered vehicles, a spacious basement level offering tremendous storage and a 5 zoned HVAC system that provides warmth and cooling for the ultimate interior climate year-round. With an exceptional history, enriched by creative genius, and transformed into an extraordinary architectural treasure.
