Before and After: Reimagining Hoboken Architecture

612 GARDEN STREET
Interest in 612 Garden has reached a fever pitch, so it’s too bad that 1885 resident Henry Weinhagen isn’t still around. He was a noted thermometer maker! That’s just one interesting fact that Lorraine Arnold of Legacy Roots dug up in her history of the property, which dates back to the 1860s along with its original owners, the well-known Bloomfield family.

In recent years, the townhouse had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. The Bloomfields and ol’ Weinhagen might now be rendered speechless by the stunning gut renovation by Hudson Realty Group at Halstead Properties, packed with ultra-modern luxury touches.

Sales associate Matt Brown says their goal was to “bring a feeling of history and old-world craftsmanship back into the home after removing almost all the original construction materials.”
Indeed, no expense was spared, with features including a professional chef’s kitchen, wide-plank hardwood floors, a professionally landscaped garden, and heated bathroom tiles. The cornice, facade, brownstone, and original staircase bannister were all lovingly restored. The end result is a five-bedroom townhouse that any family would be proud to call home.

“We drew on our collective experience of over 20 years,” Brown explains, “to create a property as close to ‘perfect’ as we could get.”
