About the Listing ELLS02 - 40124,40124

Vineyard House is a striking architect-driven contemporary residence set on two flat, wooded acres in the storied and creative enclave of Snedens Landing, within the Palisades Historic District—just 13 minutes north of the George Washington Bridge. Privately situated on a discreet road that traces the Palisades cliffs and ends in acres of protected hiking trails leading to the Hudson River, the property offers exceptional tranquility and seclusion. Majestic oak and maple trees surround the home, creating a serene natural setting rarely found so close to Manhattan. The residence spans approximately 4,200 square feet and has been thoughtfully renovated with an emphasis on light, scale, and livability. Expansive outdoor spaces—including a stone patio and deck overlooking a broad, level lawn—make the home ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat. At the heart of the home is a large chef’s kitchen featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a wood-burning fireplace, blending warmth with functionality. A second fireplace anchors the dramatic double-height living room, providing both visual impact and comfort, while a third fireplace enhances the primary bedroom suite, offering a private, cozy escape. The home offers five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, including three en suite bedrooms and a first-floor au pair or guest room. Quality-of-life features include ample built-in storage, a two-car garage, mudroom entrance, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The grounds are further enhanced by an arbor and lush wildflower gardens. Residents enjoy a short walk to the Hudson River, access to private Snedens Landing Tennis (via the Snedens Landing Tennis Association), and immediate proximity to hundreds of acres of protected wilderness. The setting is peaceful, private, and elegant—yet remarkably close to New York City. Snedens Landing is renowned for its deep cultural and artistic legacy, long attracting actors, writers, dancers, painters, sculptors, and leaders in their fields. The community offers a rare balance of discretion and connection, allowing residents to be as private or social as they wish. Vineyard House is truly special—a refined country retreat offering space, nature, and architectural distinction, just minutes from Manhattan.
