The Edgewater, NJ townhouse boasts five bedrooms, five baths and 6,000 square feet, which is plenty of space to entertain guests.

According to real estate records obtained by The U.S. Sun, Dolores' boyfriend purchased the home in March 2018 for $2.3million.

The Bergen County property has breathtaking views of the NYC skyline from the rooftop deck, which Paul decorated with a U-shaped navy blue couch, long table, stone fire pit, and gas grill.

The location couldn't be more convenient, as he's minutes away from the ferry to the city and the waterfront's shops and restaurants that overlook the Hudson River.

Also, the 12-mile-long Palisades Park is steps away from his backyard.

Apart from the ferry, Paul can drive his Rolls Royce, which he no doubt safely stores in his two-car garage, across the nearby George Washington Bridge.

INSIDE HIS PALACE

The Irish man's modern home, which was built in 2017, has a wall of windows on the exterior, allowing lots of sunlight to peak through.

His dreamy kitchen features a large glass China cabinet, wine cellar, and a granite center island.

Paul pulls out all the stops when it comes to decorating his home.

Per the recent episode, the Eco Electrical Services founder has signed guitars, expensive artwork and hanging lights.

Upstairs, Paul has his own spacious master suite with a walk-in closet.

WELCOMING THE CAST

On the latest episode of RHONJ, Paul, 48, and Dolores, 52, hosted the cast at his Edgewater property for a Turkish coffee reading with a psychic.

Upon entering Paul's home, the cast was greeted by staff who had been hired to help cater the girls' lunch- and each had something to say about his stylish bachelor pad.

Jennifer Aydin raved: "Oh my God, this place is gorgeous. Oh my God, beautiful place. Gorgeous!"

Rachel Fuda said: "This house - incredible!" and later added, "I feel so rich in this house."

Jennifer Fessler joked: "Where am I...the Taj Mahal? Wow!" and later, during a confessional, joked: "I'm trying not to get jealous of Dolores, but it is so, like, 50 Shades of Grey.

"Like I'm becoming desperate to find the Red Room."

Meanwhile, Melissa Gorga gushed: "This place...Dolores really hit the jackpot!"

Jackie Goldschneider chimed, "This place is stunning!" and Danielle Cabral gasped and called it "breathtaking."

MOVING IN?

Dolores has yet to publicly announce whether she moved in with her boyfriend, whom she met in September 2021 through a mutual friend.

But, in a recent interview with The Hoboken Girl, she revealed she spends all her time at Paul's house.

"You can find me in Edgewater probably seven days out of the week.

"Paul and I definitely spend so much time together. We do so much together," she told the local NJ outlet.

"We get our teeth done together, we go to doctors appointments together, we go shopping together... we’re planning more trips. We love it."

The New Jersey native has lived in her current home in North Haledon for over 25 years, which she shared with her ex-husband Frank Catania.

She recently had undergone a major renovation, including installing a pool and an exquisite barbecue and grilling structure.

WHAT'S NEXT

The RHONJ cast will soon be heading to Paul's hometown, Ireland, to celebrate Teresa Giudice's bachelorette party.

In the mid-season trailer, Paul reveals he plans on proposing to the mom of two.

Frank asks: "Did she tell you what kind of ring she wants?"

Paul responds: "I already have it," leading Frank to quickly snap back, "Shut the f**k up!"

Paul's upcoming proposal comes as no surprise.

He shared in a past Instagram post: "I am the luckiest guy and that's for sure, I knew my luck would turn around someday."

Dolores gushed back: "The leprechaun that stole my heart."

New episodes of RHONJ air every Tuesday at 9pm ET on Bravo.
