Some homes simply draw you in, this one does it before you even step inside. Set in the heart of Hillsdale Manor, custom built by a renowned architect in 1998, this elegant center hall colonial makes a lasting first impression with its stunning wrap-around porch, where morning coffee and neighborhood hellos are part of the everyday rhythm. Inside, a soaring two-story entry sets the tone for a home that balances graceful design with everyday comfort in over 3800 SF of finished space. The first floor offers 9ft ceilings and a sunlit open floorplan with rich hardwood floors. The gourmet kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room with surround sound, perfect for gatherings large or small. Sliders invite you to a picturesque yard, centered around a fire pit, thoughtfully landscaped for beauty and ease. Upstairs, the main suite is a true retreat, featuring a dramatic octagon tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath designed for relaxation. In addition, three spacious bedrooms share an updated center bath and convenient 2nd floor laundry. The beautifully finished lower level spans an impressive 850 SF featuring a recreational area and a full home gym, welcoming and ready to inspire. Surrounded by top-rated schools, beautiful parks, and convenient NYC transit, this home offers more than a place to live, it offers a lifestyle rooted in comfort and timeless design. Thoughtfully crafted and lovingly maintained, it’s now ready for its next chapter, and yours. Call Christ
