Welcome to 139 Prospect Street, a distinguished two-family residence nestled in the heart of Jersey City Heights, just off Central Avenue and moments from Pershing Field and Reservoir #3. This expansive 2,800+ square foot home offers space, character, and flexibility—plus the rare bonus of private parking for 3+ cars on an exclusive-use driveway.

Step through elegant double glass entry doors into a custom-paneled hallway that sets the tone for the home’s charm. With 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms spread across both floors, soaring ceilings over 9 feet tall enhance the sense of openness and airiness throughout. The thoughtful layout presents flexible living arrangements with room to grow and customize. Beneath the current laminate flooring, original decorative hardwood floors remain in great condition—ready to be restored for added warmth and character. A rear stairwell leads all the way to the rooftop, creating a tantalizing possibility for a future roof deck with skyline views. Meanwhile, the full-height basement (8 feet tall) features two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a private entrance—ideal for additional living space or a separate unit. The basement is dry and in excellent condition, making conversion seamless. Mechanical systems are solid, with two boilers and two hot water heaters.
