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. Glide through the expansive, 21-foot-long living room to discover a kitchen filled with gorgeous custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a massive island with prep sink. 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.

Four well-appointed bedrooms, including two master suites, are found on the second level. One suite offers three enormous closets and a skylit en-suite bathroom filled with top-of-the-line amenities, including a glass rain shower/steam room, modern vanity, radiant heated floors, heated towel rack and state-of-the-art commode. The second bedroom suite includes a wall full of closets and equally well-appointed bathroom with a deep-soaking tub-shower. Two more bedrooms flank this level's third full bathroom. On the garden level, you'll find a large family room — or fifth bedroom/guest suite, if needs dictate — surrounded in windows, with patio access and an adjoining bathroom.

Outdoors, a new side patio and expanded granite back patio offer ideal vantage points from which to enjoy the landscaped yard's lovely foliage, stone walls, jacuzzi and built-in irrigation. Two convenient mudrooms — at the front and garage entries — keep things tidy indoors. This home's thorough renovation includes a number of upgraded systems, including electrical and plumbing, three-zone central air conditioning, new security system, plus updated phone, internet and integrated audio wiring.

Nestled on a storybook country lane, this fine Riverdale residence offers the perfect combination of bucolic tranquility and convenient accessibility. The revered Wave Hill Public Gardens & Culture Center is just a half-mile away and offers 28 acres of premier outdoor space overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, plus a full calendar of events and a fantastic café serving artisanal cuisine from locally sourced ingredients. Travel to Theater District in just 20 minutes by car, or 25 minutes by Metro-North's Riverdale station, just one mile away, to Grand Central, or use the comfort of express busses going to the east and west side of Manhattan. Subway is accessible by walking or city bus.
