About This Home

As of October 2020

Elegance, sophistication and environmentally friendly features characterize this stunning home in the highly coveted Palisades neighborhood. Built by Chryssa Wolfe/Hanlon Design Build in 2012, this home features four stories of luxury, state-of-the-art green design and a backyard resort-style retreat. Designed for entertaining and daily living alike, large windows, open hardwood staircases and lots of natural light on all 4 levels showcase the attention to detail. On the main level, a gourmet kitchen and breakfast room with built in banquette seating, two gas fireplaces, large mud room with built-in storage, stunning light fixtures and wall coverings add to the luxurious upgrades consistently found throughout the home. On the lower level, enjoy working out from the privacy of home, relaxing in a large recreation room and toasting with a fine selection from the temperature-controlled 700+ bottle wine cellar. The immaculate grounds include a 15-by-28-foot in-ground swimming pool with hidden automated safety cover and saltwater bromine generator, mature landscaping, an outdoor stone fireplace and a built-in stone grill. Covered and open-air patios and bamboo privacy fencing complete this tranquil oasis. A detached garage with permeable pavers and alley access adds to the functionality. This stately home was built using the finest materials and sustainable techniques including a highly efficient geothermal heating and cooling unit, open cell foam insulation and an energy recovery ventilator, making the utility bills surprisingly low. Designed for minimal exterior maintenance, sustainable and thoughtful living, this home is a rare find in today's market.
