234 Judson Avenue • Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Located along the branch of beautiful and tranquil Judson Ave that ends in Hillside Woods, discover this one-of-a kind Riverview Manor Contemporary. Architect-designed to be in harmony with its existing landscape, this home offers privacy, soaring ceilings, and sun-drenched spaces, all with a focus on providing views of nature from anywhere inside. Its unusual floating gabled roof is a unifying element, creating a feeling of expanse and airiness inside, while providing sun shading at its eaves for the home's wide expanses of glass. Built by its engineer-owner, the home sits proudly and solidly on its bucolic .27-acre property, complete with an especially large level rear yard and woodlands backdrop. Enjoy a dazzling living room that will sparkle in the daylight from wide south-facing triangular transoms and a gabled skylight. In the evenings, relax to the warm glow from a wood-burning fireplace with raised stone hearth, set in a wide wall of quarried stone. A series of 10-foot-high glass sliders extend for 16 feet along the east wall and lead to a spacious wood balcony from which to gaze at lush forested land in the distance. Here, as in all of the main floor rooms, a soaring cedar plank ceiling with exposed rafters and beams is visible, adding interest and drama to the spaces. The stone fireplace wall acts as a divider between the living and dining rooms, the latter with durable white terrazzo floors and glass sliders accessing the generous backyard. An eat-in kitchen with windows spanning 12 overlooks the idyllic backyard and includes the same terrazzo floor, ample counter space, casual dining, and storage. A backyard-facing primary bedroom contains walk-in closet and bath, while two East-facing bedrooms have sliders to share the home's 2nd wood balcony. A central stair that leads to the lower level is awash in light from 14'-6 high windows surrounding the double doors at the front entry. Below, a spacious walk-out family room has sliders to the front yard, as well as a substantial finished storage room (potential office/4th bedroom), powder room, laundry room, and two-car garage. With the 52-acre Hillside Woods just a few steps away, as well as award-winning IB schools and a 38-minute train commute to GCT, this first-time sale of this home is a rare opportunity.
