About This Home
As of October 2022Views-views and more views! The entire back of this home is nearly a wall of glass with stunning views that reach New York City! Must be seen to be appreciated. You will enjoy this well build steel beam construction home, that has a very custom floor plan which includes 5 bedrooms and an en-suite. The finished lower walk-out level certainly could serve as an "in-law' suite for guests that stay long term. It features a bedroom, full bath, large recreation room, and a wine storage room. Sit by your inground pool and enjoy the peace and quiet this property has to offer. Chimney and fireplaces being sold as-is with no known issues.
