Major Price Reduction! Enjoy manor-like living just 15 minutes from Midtown Manhattan in this impeccably renovated, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in the gorgeous estate section of Riverdale. No expense was spared in refurbishing and expanding this 4,036-square-foot home just 5 minutes from prestigious Wave Hill. A bedroom and bathroom were added; the kitchen, living and dining areas were transformed to a light-filled open plan space; new millwork and doors have been installed; and additional windows and a skylight were included to maximize light and air.

The entire first floor of the home is a graceful retreat equally well-suited for gracious entertaining or serene relaxation. Gleaming inlaid hardwood parquet floors, a wood-burning fireplace, traditional columns, millwork, archways and bay windows set an elegant and inviting tone throughout.

Even the most discerning chef will be thrilled with the state-of-the-art appliances, including a Wolf vented cooktop and wall oven, Miele dishwasher and built-in coffee system, Jenn-Air refrigerator and a wine cooler. Sunny lounge and dining areas are situated in between, providing an ideal flow for entertaining.
