Modern, stylish, and smart – this four-bedroom residence proudly showcases the next level of urban design in the heart of Journal Square. Originally built in 2021, the residence has since been thoughtfully reimagined with a series of high-end custom upgrades, elevating every detail beyond its original new-construction finishes. Featuring a professionally landscaped garden and a plethora of bespoke enhancements, this single-family residence raises the standard for luxurious urban living.
Showcasing a rare blend of expansive outdoor living and urban luxury, this exceptional home stands out as a testament to Journal Square’s ongoing transformation. Upon discussing the property, listing agent Angela Cuciniello of Coldwell Banker remarked, “Journal Square is rapidly becoming one of Jersey City’s most sought-after neighborhoods, and this property is a prime example of the quality and convenience buyers are looking for. We’re seeing strong interest from people who want both modern amenities and easy access to New York City. It’s exciting to represent a home that truly reflects the energy and growth of the area.”
Designed to impress, this 1,500+ square-foot gallery-style home pairs high-end finishes with abundant natural light to create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Beautiful white oak chevron flooring spans the main living level, complemented by gallery-style fluted walls and bespoke millwork that blend timeless sophistication with contemporary appeal.
The luminous interior is further elevated by statement-making Flos light fixtures and a smart Lutron lighting system, setting the ideal mood for both relaxing and entertaining. Smart home features extend throughout the residence, including motorized shades, a Nest thermostat, whole-house water filtration, dual-zone central HVAC, integrated Lutron outlets, and virtual security – all designed for exceptional comfort and ease of living.
Positioned to capture abundant natural light, the chef’s kitchen opens directly onto the balcony and overlooks the landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A striking Calacatta quartz dining peninsula with a waterfall edge serves as the centerpiece, complemented by matching countertops and sleek two-tone custom cabinetry. Thoughtful design details include a concealed espresso station, built-in bar, and bottle rack. All enhance both function and style, while high-end stainless-steel appliances, anchored by a freestanding gas range, complete the space with modern sophistication.
The professionally landscaped garden effortlessly combines urban luxury with outdoor living. Bask in the sunshine or host alfresco meals on the balcony with refills from the espresso station and bar just steps away. Descend to the low maintenance turf grass to access the blue stone terrace, and embrace the opportunity to make memories while lounging beside the fire-pit. Regardless of the seasonal outdoor activity, the garden provides a welcome retreat from the bustle of modern life.
Ascend the striking staircase to the upper level where natural light and 10-foot ceilings await. Enter the primary bedroom complete with a vibrant green accent wall, which is framed by custom, built-in storage. The bedroom has been designed to maximize storage, with a walk-in closet and wall of closets providing extra space for extensive wardrobes. For those who savor relaxation and rejuvenation, the lavish ensuite features an oversized glass shower and chic vanity. A second spacious bedroom with an oversized window and a built-in closet is situated on the same level, along with a full bathroom.

Both bedrooms have built-in closets for storage, while the rear bedroom includes direct access to the private garden. This level also offers a full bathroom. Further storage and a high-end Electrolux washer and dryer complete the lower level.
