Welcome to Summit Lodge at 684 Summit Avenue, where a classic ornamental brick facade opens to a fully reimagined interior. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath duplex offers roughly 1,600 sq ft of living space renovated in 2023, plus your own private backyard, a rarity in Jersey City Heights. The main level is bright and open, with solid oak hardwood floors, high ceilings, and oversized windows. The chef’s kitchen features designer quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a built-in wine fridge, and flows into the living area and out to the yard for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. The primary suite offers generous closet space and a sleek bath with a double vanity and a frameless glass shower. A second bedroom and a full bath with tub complete the floor. The lower level, finished in Italian porcelain tile, adds a third bedroom, a third full bath, and a large flexible living area for a media room, home office, or gym. With its own private entrance and kitchenette, it works well as a guest suite. Quality runs deeper than the finishes: new plumbing and electrical, fire protection, central air, Nest thermostats, Ring intercom, Porcelanosa tile and fixtures, and extensive soundproofing between floors, including open-cell foam insulation, QuietWalk underlayment, QuietRock ceilings, and sound clips. Commuting is simple, with options for every routine. The Journal Square PATH is about a 13-minute walk, with direct trains to the World Trade Center and Midtown Manhattan, and direct access into Port Authority via the NJ Transit buses on Central Ave. The neighborhood keeps getting better. Jersey City and Hudson County are planning Courthouse Park, a 3.4-acre public park on Newark Avenue just a 10-minute walk away. Add the dining and nightlife of Journal Square and Downtown, and you have a quiet residential setting with city accessibility close at hand.
