Perfectly positioned on one of the loveliest tree-and-brownstone- lined blocks in Hoboken, No. 736 Park Avenue is an overwhelmingly charming, technologically fluent and meticulously maintained four-story single-family brownstone on a 15 x 100 lot. It is exceptional for its professionally designed 630 SF private garden with six-zone WiFi-controlled irrigation system that is home to one of the area's most spectacular cherry blossoms, seamless and intuitive Crestron Home automation system inclusive of five-zone Bowers & Wilkins speakers, and painstakingly restored period details including its exemplary brownstone facade and cornice, authentic plaster ceiling medallions and crown moulding, and five artfully preserved, hand-painted fireplace mantels. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms and benefiting from an ideal location with easy walking access to a celebrated network of local shopping and recreation that includes boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, farmers' markets, grocery stores, parks and the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, No. 736 Park Avenue is also as commutable as can be. It is three blocks to NJ Transit bus stops that offer express service to New York City, as well as easily accessible to Hoboken Terminal (PATH, NY Waterway Ferry, NJ Transit, Light Rail), NY Waterway Ferry at 14th Street, and all major highways and tunnels. Equally suited to relaxing, dining or entertaining, the parlor floor welcomes with a graceful, warm embrace through its rich period elements, functional gas fireplace and ceiling heights eclipsing ten feet while it leads to a carefully appointed chef's kitchen with bespoke beaded inset millwork, radiant heated flooring, island, granite countertops, 48-inch Viking Professional range with griddle, integrated Viking Professional refrigerator and freezer, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and pantry. The kitchen provides entrée to a 220 SF deck and, beyond, the professionally designed and maintained private garden which wows year-round with vivid, seasonal colors. The front bedroom on the second floor is presently used as an upper parlor/media room with custom built-in cabinets and bookshelves, independent Bose AV system with surround-sound and remote shade/lighting controls, and a 60-inch television (all are included). The opposing bedroom features two closets, and they are united by a comfortable, wider landing and easily accessible bathroom with tub. The third floor finds the remaining two bedrooms and a full bathroom along with three skylights. The east-facing owner's bedroom is an ideal retreat and the perfect place to begin each day anew. It presents beautiful built-in closets and millwork from an esteemed northern NJ carpenter, and is within an ace of a skylit bathroom with gorgeous deep-navy blue claw foot tub and glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The west-facing fourth bedroom is distinguished by an oversized closet. Life at home in No. 736 Park Avenue is further enhanced by a functional vestibule with storage on the parlor floor and a garden level with open recreation room, laundry room with full size Electrolux washer/dryer and fantastic storage. The HVAC system is comprised of a commercial grade Lennox air conditioning unit with heat pump and UV Filtration controlled by Honeywell smart thermostats and an exceptionally efficient Burnham boiler that delivers steam heat. All are serviced on seasonal maintenance plans.
