$5.9 million paid for Hoboken townhouse almost breaks record. Take a peek inside
The townhouse market is back with a vengeance after a brief slowdown during the COVID pandemic.
A $5.9 million deal on a townhouse in Hoboken closed Sept. 9
The unit at 614 Hudson St. claimed its rank among Hoboken’s highest two-family sales, second only to a 2016 $6.5 million sale of a comparable property.
Located on one of Hoboken’s most exclusive streets, the brick townhouse has been restored, redesigned and renovated to include all the essentials of modern living while maintaining the history of the turn-of-the-century mansions.
The home is a short walk from the PATH train, the ferry to Manhattan and area restaurants. It was gutted and renovated in 2017, with the original red brick and brownstone façade refurbished. The home features 10-foot-4-inch-high original 18th-century Argentinian double entrance doors, followed by interior 9-foot-3-inch French double-wide doors originally from Paris, dating back to the 19th century.
The townhouse is a two-family home between Hudson Street and Court Street. The main home, with the entry on Hudson Street, has about 5,600 square feet of space over five stories plus a roof deck, with six bedrooms, 7½ baths, two living rooms, a study, two dens, an office and a media room. Custom cabinetry is featured throughout, with hardwood floors and designer finishes. An elevator serves all five levels of the home.

There's also a carriage house with a standalone loft apartment with a separate entry on Court Street, a private garage with room for two cars, high-velocity air conditioning and a natural gas generator that backs up the entire home.
Homebuyers sought larger spaces in the suburbs during the pandemic, but that trend is reversing as businesses and offices reopen.
The seller of the townhouse was represented by Peter Cossio and the Hudson Realty Group team at Brown Harris Stevens. Brown Harris Stevens also represented the buyer, as well as the 2016 sale of a similar brownstone for $6.5million
