The French Ivy House. A late 20th century country home in Snedens Landing, 14 minutes from the George Washington Bridge, features a distinctive mansard roof and a secondary wing, that feels like it was built in a different time. It features a fun layout with lots of nooks and crannies, two staircases/entrances, window seats, barrel shaped dormers, casement windows that crank out to let lots of fresh air into the home. This is the country! There is also an abundance of ivy growing on its stucco walls which compliments its extensive/redesigned garden plan. Snedens is well known for its connection to the arts stemming back to the early 1900s, and actress Hayden Panettiere grew up here. French Ivy House is a luxurious, 3,500+ square foot home with an oversized two car garage that was just completely renovated with the best materials and can be sold completely furnished for an additional fee. Everything was custom designed for the home. Hand painted murals on silver leaf paper in dining room, silk wallpaper and all custom designed window treatments and carpets. It features large slabs of Italian marble floors, quarter sawn oak floors (wood is cut differently to expose more grain) that are radiant heated; new kitchen with top-of-line appliances, new cabinet and marble counters and all new marble bathrooms. There are three ensuite bedrooms, including one in the primary suite on the main floor. And there is a Sonos sound system inside and out. This is a turnkey house, like new! The property was professionally designed by a landscape architect and features multiple water features including a koi pond with water lilies and frogs! Stone walls and patios, beautiful plantings, an abundance of tulips and daffodils in the springtime and a wall of trees in the rear. Beautiful. Garden plan is available for viewing. The property is situated a short walk to the Hudson River as well as 3,000 acres of parkland overlooking the river. Snedens Landing, which is a neighborhood in Palisades, NY, is a historic district going back to the 1600s, and is a delight to walk through. There is next to no car traffic because there is no through traffic in the community; only one road in and out. Tallman State Park adjoins and is accessible from the north boundaries and Lamont Observatory/Columbia University and Palisades interstate Park is accessible from the south boundary.
The Hudson River has a small sandy beach. The Palisades Library and the Palisades Community Center/Farmers Market, "The Market" (indoor outdoor cafe - favorite of many bikers who come up from NYC) and NYC transportation, is a short walk away. The historic village of Piermont and its river walk, and many restaurants and shops is a 5 minute drive or 30-minute walk away. The French Ivy House can be a great secondary home or full-time residence. The community feels like it's a million miles from New York City - but, it and everything it has to offer is only 25 minutes away!
