Inside The $4.2 Million NYC Condo Author And Editor Jenny Jackson Just Bought

Jenny Jackson has had many successes in her career so far, and yet it seems like this is only the beginning. As vice-president and senior editor for the powerhouse publishing company Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, she has been responsible for editing some of the most page-turning books of the last few years. In her now 20 years of experience, she has scanned the pages from authors Emily St John Mandel, Erin Morgenstern, and the immensely popular book "Crazy Rich Asians" by Kevin Kwan.

She has now taken her talents to the writing world as she is set to release her debut novel "Pineapple Street" in 2023. According to Publishers Weekly, Jackson has already inked a deal that is said to be worth a staggering "seven figures," with talks that it might translate to a television series as well. With all the whirlwind of excitement, she has also made big moves in the real estate world, buying up a beautiful apartment in Brooklyn Heights. Let's take a look at her stunning new residence.

A gem of an outdoor space

Located right in the heart of bustling Brooklyn, New York, in the Brooklyn Heights area is this wonderfully spacious condo on the top floor of a four-story building. According to New York Post, Jenny Jackson purchased the condo for $4.2 million, but with that hefty pricetag comes some priceless amenities.

Among these bonuses is a beautiful outside wrap-around terrace which is detailed with rich shrubs, exposed brick, and a wooden privacy wall to keep the space intimate. There is plenty of room in the outdoor space — which covers 550 square feet — to enjoy the sights and sounds of Brooklyn. With already established water and gas hookups, you are able to entertain guests with the smell of an open-air cook-out. This treasure of an outdoor area within the city is accessible from each bedroom and can also be reached through the kitchen, which makes it the ideal spot for hosting get-togethers with family and friends.

Plenty of natural light in the open concept living area

The building has a rich history that dates back over 100 years and is just a stone's throw away from the Brooklyn Bridge and East River. However, the inside of the spacious condo is updated with a modern look that would be the envy of anyone. Walking into the large open concept living room, you are surrounded by tall white-framed windows that let the sun absolutely fill the space. The large living area also features a sleek gas fireplace and nice tall ceilings, per the listing on Realtor.com.

With four bedrooms and three-and-half bathrooms, the total living space spans an impressive 2,455 square feet. The spacious galley-like kitchen flows effortlessly into a dining area that is backed by the living room. There is no shortage of natural light wherever you wander in this home, as it has been designed with windows that surround the corner unit masterfully.

Beautiful bedrooms with a secret area

One of the major perks of Jenny Jackson's new digs has to be the sheer amount of large windows that wrap around the home. Especially with having to deal with New York City winters every year, Jackson can reap the benefits of being awash in natural light, which can do wonders for your health and general well-being, according to Healthline.

Three of the four bedrooms are connected inside by a galley hallway that is brightly lit and joined outside by the wrap-around terrace, allowing lucky guests to have full use of the outdoor space. However, the master bedroom has its own secrets. Not only is it connected to a large brightly tiled and mirrored bathroom as well as a huge walk-in dressing room, but it also has a door leading to a private terrace. This little outdoor oasis would make the perfect spot for Jackson to enjoy reading any potential new best-sellers or to write one of her own.
