778 W 231ST Street

Serenely perched at the crest of Palisade Avenue and West 231st Street, West of Parkway, this home never misses a sunset over the picturesque Hudson River. Master craftsmen of the 1930's used rich materials of stone, slate, brick, and oak hardwood in constructing this stately residence, which occupies a spacious and private corner lot. The Hudson River view, as you approach the front door, will take your breath away. The central hall home is well laid-out, bright, and spacious. There is a voluminous sunken living room with gorgeous wood work, a wood burning fireplace, NW&S exposures, and glass French doors leading to a western-facing brick terrace looking over the River. The dining room also has great exposures, period details, and is easily accessible from the kitchen. The eat-in-kitchen has another door leading to a covered patio that is level and at grade with Palisade Ave. A bedroom and a full bath complete the main floor. The unique period qualities of this home are also present on the second floor where there are three additional well-apportioned bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a beautiful cathedral ceiling and glorious Hudson River views. The attic is well kept and provides great storage space. The lower level is finished and includes a two-car tandem garage, a full bath, a finished family room with decorative fire place, and a laundry / utility room that has above grade windows. Fronting on a private street, this beautifully landscaped property has 3 patio/ terraces and great flat areas for playing and enjoying. Taxes do not include basic STAR of $1,600 a year.
