Description

Exquisitely designed Colonial-style stone mansion in prime Riverdale Estate section, boasts views of the Hudson River. Situated on nearly half an acre, this +/-7000 square ft 7-bedroom, 7.5-bath home was delivered "white box" by the developer, and now showcases a one million dollar extensive renovation the owner masterfully completed.

Enter the dramatic double-height foyer, into a grand living room with w/wood burning fireplace and separate formal dining area. Sunlight floods in through multiple windows and french doors which lead to private flagstone patios. The spacious eat-in kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances such as a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf oven with 6-burner range, Miele dishwasher and a wine cooler. There is an abundance of custom cabinetry and pantry space as well as a large center island with Corian counter tops. The rest of this level includes a large media room w/gas fireplace, powder room, an office, and a bedroom w/en-suite bath currently used as a fitness room.

The 2nd floor is comprised of 5 bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. The expansive master suite features stunning cathedral ceilings, 2 walk-in closets, and an exquisite marble bathroom w/radiant heated floors, soaking tub and separate shower. There is also a washer/ dryer on this level.

Upstairs on the 3rd floor, you will find, a large multi-purpose room, additional guest bedroom and bath, plus ample closets and storage space.

This magnificent home includes an expansive front, side, and leveled backyard as well as an attached 2 car garage, 4-zone central air-conditioning/heating system, and an EcoStar slate-style roof. Conveniently located near Wave Hill, the Riverdale Yacht Club and a short walk to Metro-North, this very special home is in mint condition and a must see!
