Seemingly hidden away in the hustle and bustle of Hoboken is a fully restored private home for sale in the city's most famous historic district.
A rowhouse-style home built in 1901, 912 Castle Point Terrace is a single-family home with a preserved brick exterior and private outdoor space that's hard to come by in this area. The home, located in the Castle Point Terrace Historic District, was listed for sale on February 15th for $4.15 million by listing agent Renee Condon of Keller Williams City Life Realty in Jersey City. It was being served.
The dead-end cobblestone street dates back to 1804.

I purchased this land in Estate. After his death in 1838, his sons Edwin and Augustus Stephens converted the grounds into his 40-room Victorian mansion, known as Stephens Castle.

In 1903, the family officially opened Castle Point Terrace to the public. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, the area includes portions of Castle Point Terrace, adjacent to Stevens Institute of Technology and Elysian Park, and is also home to the first recorded baseball game in 1846. It was held.
“It's on this very unique street, and we basically have the largest lot in Hoboken. Most of the time it's not just a Victorian house, it's a mix of arts and crafts and other different styles. “We're working hard,” Condon said. “They were all built with great craftsmanship. They're like the grandest homes and the most spacious homes you'll find in Hoboken.”
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home boasts approximately 4,400 square feet of living space. Notable features include original stained glass doors and windows throughout the home and an abundance of preserved wood. The living room also has the home's original gas fireplace.
“Historically, the facade is protected, so you can't really change the facade. You can do whatever you want on the inside, so this owner has lovingly restored it,” Condon said. “They tried to preserve all the woodwork and there's historic stained glass everywhere. They saved everything they could.”
The home also has a dining room large enough to seat 16 people, with glass doors in the wall overlooking the home's garden and trees. This property's chef's kitchen includes a Wolf 48-inch dual fuel range, Miele dishwasher, large granite center island with seating for four, custom His cabinets with soft-close doors, under-cabinet lighting, and more.
Upstairs, the second and second floors include a spacious primary suite and ensuite bathroom with steam shower, separate Bane Ultra tub, double vanity, and large walk-in. closet. Located on the upper floors, this home offers sweeping views of Hudson Yards and the surrounding New York City area.
Condon said the home's garden level is particularly unique. These levels often feel like a standard basement space, but the current owners chose to make it a more family-friendly space, she said.
“There's a huge family room with all the custom built-in furniture and beautiful woodwork throughout. There's a full wet bar with a refrigerator and dishwasher, and an approximately 800-bottle wine cellar.” she said. “There's also a gym, lots of storage and a half-bathroom. It's so spacious you could actually create an extra bedroom.”
Outside of the home, you'll find over 1,400 square feet of private backyard space. This area has a bluestone patio and lawn garden and is accessible from both the main level of the house and the garden level.
“We have a very large garden, which the owners have landscaped beautifully with blue stones and tall trees surrounding the back,” Condon said. “It's very rare to have that much space and greenery in a city.”
The property has a state-of-the-art HVAC system and water heater, copper gutters, and a modern roof.
New York City Ferry and New Jersey Transit bus routes are also nearby. This home is one block from the shops and restaurants on Washington Street in Hoboken, and close to local schools and the Hudson River waterfront.
Condon said overall the block is very family-friendly and there hasn't been a lot of neighborhood turnover.
“People tend to stay in their homes for several years. I have three or four close friends here, and they've all lived in their homes for over 20 years,” she said. “A lot of people have to move because they need more space, and we don't have it on this block. People can stay for the rest of their lives.”
