Stunning custom-built luxury home set on nearly an acre in the peaceful hamlet of Palisades, just 12 miles north of NYC. Built in 2010, and for sale by the original owner, this estate-like property with swimming pool is on a quiet dead end road, set apart from neighbors and enveloped by woods. Parking in the attached three-car garage is complemented by an additional freestanding two-car garage with finished office above; perfect for remote work or creative pursuits. The gardens, designed by renowned local landscape architect Daniel Sherman, create a private oasis with mature, flowering trees and beautiful plantings surrounding a heated, salt water gunite pool with hot tub, waterfall, and sun shelf for passive heat. The gazebo, equipped with an outdoor kitchen and built-in TV, is the perfect setting for entertaining. Perfect spaces for entertaining continue inside the 4,925 sf house, including an elegant formal living room, spacious dining room, and an inviting family/great room, featuring a floor to ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace with reclaimed barn wood mantle. Gracious details abound throughout the house with a grand curving staircase, arched doorways, coffered ceiling in the formal dining room, and herringbone patterned parquet floors in the entry hall, to name only a few. A large gourmet chef’s kitchen features stunning quartzite countertops and a beautiful backsplash crafted from Walter Zanger kitchen tile. The large center island, made from wide-planked black American walnut, adds warmth to the space. The first-floor ensuite bedroom is perfect for guests; and a spacious unfinished basement with high ceilings offers endless possibilities for customization. The second story of this special home features a large second story landing, four bedrooms, three baths and a bonus room. The primary suite features a marble bathroom, with freestanding soaking tub and walk in shower, that is a true sanctuary. Palisades is a charming hamlet located along the banks of the Hudson River, offering easy access to parkland and walking trails, shopping in NJ, and easy access to NYC. Enjoy the nearby quaint river towns, and benefit from the award-winning South Orangetown schools. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
