A 3-panel bay window floods the front room with natural light, with an original cast iron radiator beneath it. Steam heat throughout the unit.

4BR/1.0BA4 bed1 bath1,030 sqft$2,300 /mo1 unit availableUnit 3 at 478 15th Ave is the top-floor, 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment in a classic white Victorian building on a corner lot in Newark's Vailsburg neighborhood. The defining feature of this unit is the ornate original plaster crown molding that runs the full perimeter of every room — detailed floral and leaf relief, freshly painted white, and completely intact. This is a level of Victorian architectural character that cannot be replicated in modern construction. As the top floor, Unit 3 offers no upstairs neighbors and top-floor positioning for the 3-panel bay window — sky-level light and open views throughout the day. Dark LVP plank flooring runs through all four bedrooms and main living areas. Cast iron radiators provide steam heat. The multi-room layout connects four bedrooms naturally — ideal for families or roommates. Vailsburg is one of Newark's most residential neighborhoods.
