The Emerald at 45 River Dr PH 3409

Imagine a luxury oasis perched high atop the hustle and bustle but easily accessible to all the vibrancy that Jersey City, Hoboken, and NYC have to offer. You’re in luck: a newly available corner duplex penthouse at The Emerald is a true oasis.

Situated in the Newport neighborhood of Jersey City, The Emerald is a full-service doorman building loaded with amenities like 24/7 concierge services, a fitness center complete with yoga and Zumba classes, and an outdoor badminton court, but the real marvel is inside unit #3409, which just might be the crown jewel of it all.

First, consider the sheer magnitude of space. The sprawling 1,905-square-foot residence encompasses two floors, and with a completely open living/dining layout plus three separate outdoor areas, it’s nearly impossible to feel boxed in. Then there are the wraparound windows that flood the common areas with bright airy light and provide sweeping endless views. Polished hardwood floors feel rich and elegant, and thoughtful lighting choices create a warm ambiance.

Open Floor Plan

The newly renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash, and sleek finishes for a contemporary look. There’s ample room to prepare the necessary provisions that you’ll be enjoying outside on the 300- square-foot private terrace. With seating for 10 guests and plenty of space for friends to mingle while enjoying breathtaking views, it’s difficult to imagine a more perfect outdoor entertaining space. (Try picturing it strung with fairy lights and landscaped with flowering vines!)

Back inside, take your pick from three light-filled bedrooms with custom closets and two spa-like full baths. One bedroom, located on the first floor, is a natural choice for a home office or perhaps even a movie screening room.

Located on the second floor, the two additional bedrooms maximize privacy. For the ultimate in convenience, the in-home laundry room accommodates a full washer/dryer.

Also in the way of conveniences: a 24/7 handyman is on site to save the day, and in addition to the fitness center, the building features a community lounge with ping-pong and foosball tables. Finally, the 15,000- square-foot backyard is home to regular wine tastings and piano concerts.
