About This Home
As of July 2025Nestled in the serene and picturesque enclave of Riverdale, just ten miles from Midtown Manhattan, 4 Alderbrook is a one-of-a-kind French country home that seamlessly blends classic craftsmanship with modern versatility. Built in the late 1930s, and lovingly updated, this stunning brick residence boasts a slate roof, wide plank oak floors, solid oak doors with original hardware, and an abundance of period details, including built-in bookcases, moldings, and two wood-burning fireplaces.
Set on a lush one-third acre lot, the property is surrounded by manicured lawns, mature fruit trees, a majestic running brook, and vibrant gardens, offering an oasis of tranquility and beauty in the heart of New York City. The expansive stone patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, relaxation, and entertaining. This remarkable home sits on a private road, in close proximity to the Wave Hill public gardens, and featuring access to a spacious outdoor pool shared with just six other households.
4 Alderbrook holds a storied past, having once served as the studio for renowned artist Elie Nadelman, whose works are housed in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, and other prestigious institutions around the world. This rich history is reflected in the rare craftsmanship found throughout the home, making it a truly special place to call your own.
The first floor of this exceptional home offers an amplitude of thoughtfully designed space, including the living room of your dreams: wood-paneled, quiet, and rich, complete with a wood-burning fireplace for cozy days and easy entertaining. The garden-facing dining room is bright and spacious, perfect for holidays, dinner parties, and the joy inherent in entertaining friends and loved-ones. The chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, and original glass-paneled cabinetry, and flows seamlessly into both the dining room and the enclosed dining porch. You will be delighted to find two generously-sized and versatile bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor.
The expansive second floor is equally impressive, with six rooms and two full baths, headlined by the sublimely spacious primary suite, featuring windows on three exposures, ample closets, and stunning natural light. Four additional bedrooms can be tailored to suit your needs, where original built-in chests, bookcases, and closets add functional charm. Rounding out the second floor, a lofty, high-ceilinged bonus space elevated above the garage boasts electronic skylights and an oversized closet, perfect for a studio, office, playroom, or guest suite.
This home offers exceptional storage throughout. The two-car heated garage provides copious space for vehicles and additional storage. A full-height attic and a full basement with separate entrance offer even more potential for customization. The basement includes a second refrigerator, sinks, new washer/dryer, and dedicated space for woodworking or gardening, along with a perfect set of wine cellar nooks.
The lush grounds of 4 Alderbrook include a year-round running brook, stone outcroppings with a rock garden, a walled stone terrace, and a variety of trees and shrubs, including fruit trees, ornamental trees, and roses. The property is a haven for birdwatchers, regularly attracting a wide range of species that make it a popular stop for the Audubon Society.
Located on a quiet, private road just a few blocks from the renowned Wave Hill gardens and the top-rated schools of Horace Mann, Fieldston, Riverdale, and SAR, this home is also convenient to Van Cortlandt Park, shopping, and multiple forms of public transportation.
