About This Home

As of January 2025

This beautifully renovated home in the Palisades seamlessly combines historic charm with thoughtful updates, nestled on a quiet, one-block cul-de-sac. As you step onto the main level, a spacious living room greets you with refinished original hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, adding warmth to the space. Nearby, a charming library area, complete with custom built-ins and cabinetry, provides an ideal reading nook or home office. The kitchen is a culinary haven, fully remodeled with an elegant waterfall island, a ceiling-height backsplash, a custom millwork hood, and four arched doors that enhance the entryway's appeal. High-end features abound, including custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse-style sink, and a matte white KitchenAid fridge. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with cathedral ceilings, ample closet space, and a renovated bathroom featuring a frameless glass shower, while a convenient powder room completes this level. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with two additional bedrooms, each filled with natural light and designed for comfort. An updated bathroom on this level, with its designer touches, serves family or guests in style. The seamless design flows effortlessly between levels, enhancing the home’s sense of continuity and elegance. The lower level has been transformed to maximize both space and functionality. With raised ceilings and newly installed framing, insulation, and drywall, the basement feels open and welcoming. This level includes a fourth bedroom, a full bathroom, and a stylish kitchenette complete with custom cabinets, countertops, and Lifeproof flooring. Climate-controlled with two mini-splits, this space is comfortable year-round, making it ideal for hosting guests, recreational activities, or family gatherings. This remarkable home also boasts a host of additional features designed for comfort and convenience. Enjoy fully paid solar panels, the energy efficiency of Andersen triple-pane windows, ensuring peace and quiet while enhancing insulation. Whole-house water filters have been installed, providing pristine drinking water throughout. A new stackable LG washer and dryer in the upstairs bathroom add modern convenience, while a newly installed sump pump in the garage offers protection against water accumulation. The upgraded chimney lining, crown, and exterior fireplace door make fireplace maintenance a breeze. With a new roof in 2021, along with a state-of-the-art HVAC system and a substantial upgrade to a 400-amp electrical panel, this home is equipped for modern living, ensuring a seamless blend of functionality and luxury. Step outside to a backyard that feels like a true oasis. The spacious deck off the main level is perfect for al fresco dining, hosting BBQs with friends and family, or simply lounging in the sun with your favorite book. Just a few blocks from Palisades’ lively amenities, this home is perfectly positioned near Key Elementary School, the Palisades HUB, and popular restaurants. Residents enjoy proximity to a recreation center, library, and playground, creating a blend of peaceful neighborhood living with easy access to vibrant community resources.
