204 Shearwater Ct W APT 54, Jersey City, NJ 07305

This is a duplex penthouse with spectacular views of NYC from both floors! Enter the gated community and take the secured elevator to the top floor to see this beautiful home. Penthouse Floor (upstairs / 5th floor): Vaulted double-height ceilings and cherry hardwood floors provide great framing for a beautiful home vision. The foyer hallway is wide enough to greet guests and perhaps even showcase your art collection or library. A huge open floorplan upstairs, with vaulted cathedral ceilings, makes for a perfect dining room / living room sprawl, with a wood-burning fireplace and a balcony that looks out onto a private canal, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center skyline. A custom, walkthrough kitchen overlooks the quiet tree-lined cul de sac and connects the formal dining room with the casual eat-in kitchen. Solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, waranteed stainless steel appliances, built-in shelving and racks, and a few extra custom design gems--it's a terrific place to cook for family and friends. To top it off, a half-bath sits discreetly off the foyer, adjacent the kitchen. Private Quarters (downstairs / 4th floor): While the top floor is perfect for entertaining, the bottom floor is a retreat to relaxation. Wind your way down the spiraling stairs to quiet living quarters. The large master bedroom with en suite bath (double sinks and a deep soaking tub) and walk-in closet also overlooks the European-styled canal and boasts the same views of One World Trade and the Statue of Liberty as the floor above. This level offers two guest bedrooms (or one plus an office, as currently used), sharing a full Jack & Jill bathroom with multiple closets, and windows and French balconies letting in all the light of the southern sky. Recessed, dimming lights in the bedrooms and hallway and nominal sound penetration (from the building's concrete--not wood--infrastructure), and distance from the activities upstairs, make this a great place to get away right at home. Add to this an in-unit laundry room with shelving and extra hall, linen, and storage closets and you can keep all your amenities on hand to stay cozy forever--not to mention storing all your possessions onsite! Summary: Life at Port Liberte may seem resort-like but it's still close to the city. Nestled between Liberty State Park and Liberty National Golf Course, you can bike through both from directly within the development. If you prefer to drive, just visit your assigned, secured parking space in the underground lot; otherwise, take the ferry to the seaport and be on your way. Condo and HOA fees cover all the property amenties already mentioned as well as water, hot water, sewer, heat, landscaping, snow removal, and even flood insurance. The unit includes smoke and fire monitoring hard-wired into the building and Jersey City Fire Department, and NEST thermostats and Monitors for smoke and carbon monoxide on both floors. Port Liberte is a gated comunity in the Liberty Park neighborhood, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, so it's very safe and doesn't see heavy pass through from commuters or commercial traffic, even though it's just a few minutes from both NJ Turnpike Exits 14A and 14B. That said, this is not downtown JC. It's close but a bit removed, so you're not walking out the door into city nightlife; however, it's an easy bike ride to the action AND wait time for UBER / Lyft is usually less than 5 minutes AND there is a community shuttle service running to the light rail and the Grove Street PATH Station six days a week AND there is a ferry running from Port Liberte to the NYC Financial District six days a week.
