Reminiscent of a European villa, savor year-round Hudson River vistas from this luminous 5-bedroom Mediterranean. Residing on celebrated Palisade Avenue in the heart of Dobbs Ferry’s sought-after Riverview Manor, this 4350 sf home weaves together its meticulous, modern renovation with 1923 vintage details, creating a rich ambience, brimming with a soulful warmth. Celadon terra cotta roof tiles, a symphony of floor-to-ceiling arched-top windows, and wide-plank pegged oak floors are some of the attributes distinguishing this masterpiece of a home. The patterning of generously-proportioned rooms and wide, arched openings create a luxurious flow, allowing light and views to permeate the entire main floor. Upon entry, the grand foyer introduces an exquisite chestnut staircase with hand-turned ballustrades, both intricate and playful, as light cascades down from river-facing landing above. Interior highlights include an extraordinary sunroom overlooking the glorious western sky above the Hudson. Over 30’ long, it includes a natural cleft stone floor, fireplace, and four full-height windows with their march of layered arches along the top. Step out through French doors to appreciate the Hudson vista from a Juliet balcony or a south-facing ipe deck. Renovated by a renowned Westchester architect, a wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed creating a welcoming open concept space with radiant-heated floors and outstanding river vistas through a trio of floor-to-ceiling arched windows. Additional kitchen features include high end appliances, Italian granite counter surfaces, Calacatta marble 4-seater island, farmhouse sink, and door to driveway. Ascending the distinctive staircase find a 180-degree panorama, revealed from a dazzling 52’ wide ipe deck trimmed by custom-rounded iron railings, accessible from two of the three bedrooms on this level. The wonders of the Palisades are on display from this tranquil perch among the canopies of stately white oaks, maples, and magnolias. Distinguishing the home’s primary bedroom are astonishing views, a wood-burning fireplace, and deck access. Its luminous bath offers a soaking tub and radiant-heated floors while an adjoining dressing room is lined with custom-designed built-in closets. The other two generous and light-filled bedrooms on this floor share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom. The home’s 4th and 5th bedrooms, along with play/homework room and bath, are located on a third level with astounding year-round river views. Completing the picture, the commodious studio (an additional 570 square feet) with professional movie screen, 4K projector and fireplace, gym area, and heated garage await on a walk-out lower level with multiple doors to the yard with pollinator garden. Two blocks from the Croton Aqueduct and equidistant to all that Dobbs Ferry and Hastings have to offer, this move-in ready home is a truly special opportunity. An adjacent quarter-acre building lot will be available.
