About this home
Welcome to 116 Bentley Avenue, a meticulously preserved 1925 center-hall colonial set on Jersey City's celebrated "Doctor's Row" — a tree-lined address within the West Bergen–East Lincoln Park Historic District long favored for its architectural pedigree and old-world grace. Few homes on this block come to market, and fewer still retain the level of original craftsmanship found here. Step inside and the home's century of character is immediate: original pocket door glides between principal rooms, hand-detailed plaster molding and crown work trace every ceiling line, and mahogany-inlaid parquet floors — original to 1925 — anchor each room in warmth and pattern. A graceful original staircase rises beneath light cast through preserved stained-glass windows, a detail rarely found intact in homes of this era. Spanning 3,953 square feet across three stories on a generous 7,253-square-foot lot, 116 Bentley offers rare flexibility for its next owner. The first-floor residence — 2 bedrooms, 1 bath — presents a bright, updated kitchen finished in white quartz, while the upper duplex — 4 bedrooms, 2 baths — offers a granite kitchen and abundant living space, both fitted with updated stainless-steel appliances throughout. Below, an expansive semi-finished basement with high ceilings and a half bath, plus a substantial crawl space for storage, presents an exceptional opportunity to reimagine the lower level as an additional living unit or an owner's amenity space — a rare bonus for a home already offering flexibility across two residences. Outside, mature plantings of roses and hydrangea, a full lawn, and a stately red maple frame the home's classic curb appeal. A private driveway accommodates off-street parking for 5 or more vehicles, complemented by a single-car garage — a distinct luxury in this historic district. The fully fenced backyard, wrapped in perimeter gardens, is designed for effortless entertaining, made for long summer evenings with guests. Recent capital improvements — replacement windows throughout, a roof approximately 10 years old, an ~8-year-old boiler, and a ~2-year-old hot water heater — offer the next owner peace of mind alongside timeless architectural character. A rare offering on one of Jersey City's most storied blocks — 116 Bentley Avenue awaits its next chapter....
