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.
