8608 2Nd Ave

Every inch of this home reflects intention, care, and a genuine passion for craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be struck by meticulous attention to detail—elevated finishes, custom architectural touches, and premium materials thoughtfully chosen to elevate everyday living. The heart of this home is the kitchen, a true showpiece featuring a stunning marble backsplash paired with luxury Z-Line appliances and fixtures, setting a refined tone throughout. Inspired by the character of a classic Brooklyn brownstone and fused with the inviting warmth of a modern farmhouse, this residence delivers the best of both worlds just 20–30 minutes from Manhattan. White oak hardwood floors flow through an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, while four spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office, four-and-a-half beautifully finished bathrooms, a fully finished basement, and a fully finished third-level flex space offer exceptional versatility for modern living. The exterior is equally impressive, boasting an oversized, impeccably landscaped backyard ideal for entertaining or relaxing, as well as parking for 4+ vehicles plus a one-car garage—an uncommon luxury in this sought-after neighborhood. Adding to the comfort and efficiency of the home, a two-zone central heating and cooling system controlled by smart Nest thermostats ensures year-round climate precision. The location further elevates the lifestyle—situated merely two blocks from the highly regarded James J. Braddock Park, where more than 160 acres of green space, lakes, scenic paths, sports courts, dog runs, and playgrounds provide endless recreation, relaxation, and skyline views. Transit options to Manhattan are abundant and convenient, with nearby express and local bus routes offering direct access to Midtown, close proximity to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail for seamless connections to the PATH system in Hoboken and Jersey City, and ferry service available from Weehawken or Hoboken for a scenic and stress-free commute across the Hudson. This property seamlessly blends sophisticated design, unrivaled outdoor access, modern comforts, and commuter convenience in one exceptional North Bergen address.
