UNPARALLELED IN THE PALISADES - At nearly 4,500 square feet, this six bedroom, five bathroom residence exquisitely blends elegant sophistication with modern comfort in the tree-lined street neighborhood of the Palisades.  Sunlight pours through expansive windows, illuminating a flowing sequence of spaces designed for both celebration and quiet retreat.

Light, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors guide you through the space from front to back, culminating in a striking GOURMET KITCHEN created for effortless entertaining. A study in contrast and texture, the kitchen boasts dramatic black marble surfaces that bring a sense of polish and depth, beautifully balanced by the warmth of the surrounding living spaces. Cafe appliances and a smart refrigerator elevate both form and function, while a discreet butler’s pantry with wine storage near the mudroom allows gatherings to unfold with ease from indoors to out. A luminous main level bedroom offers comfort and privacy with its own beautifully appointed bath, ideal for a home office, visitors, or multigenerational living. Throughout the home, SOARING CEILINGS and carefully placed windows create an atmosphere that feels both expansive and intimate. The upper level reveals a primary suite that evokes the calm indulgence of a boutique hotel. Generous yet serene, it features multiple closets including a custom walk-in and a SPA-INSPIRED BATH wrapped in rich, black stonework with heated floors, a rain shower, a private water closet, and a broad window that washes the space in natural light. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully designed, including mirrored rooms connected by a marble Jack and Jill bath and a suite with its own bath and abundant storage.
