A home for art: Gated Georgian mansion on four acres just five miles from New York City with full array of luxury amenities, including an expansive gallery, offered at US$9,990,000

New York, New York (August 17, 2021) — Directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan is this red brick manse in Englewood, New Jersey. Located atop a knoll on four verdant acres, the gated property is ultimately secure and private. Accessed by a winding drive with a porte cochere and large motor courts in the front and rear, the residence spans some 25,000 square feet of luxury living, ideal for both family and grand-scale entertaining.

The 32-room home with six bedrooms, 10 full and five half baths is represented by Christopher Boel of Christie’s International Real Estate Northern New Jersey.

Said Dan Peros, of Christie’s International Real Estate: “While the exteriors convey a sense of understated elegance, the reveal comes upon entering the mansion with its soaring ceilings, elegant appointments and luxury amenities.”

The pièce de résistance to the musical artist is the professional recording studio. With room to accommodate a grand piano and other instruments, the studio includes a seating area to enjoy live or recorded performances. The art collector will fully appreciate the museum-quality gallery with high ceilings to house massive sculptures and walls to hang important paintings.

Further amenities include the home theater, deluxe seating for eight with an attached lounge and bar; a beautifully designed two-lane automated bowling alley with yet another entertaining seating area; a billiards room; and adjacent two-story carriage house with home gym, steam room and kitchen with ample room to accommodate arcade games. The indoor pool pavilion with its 40-foot in-ground pool, spa, and gas fireplace is topped by a gorgeous upcurving glass ceiling and multiple French doors opening to expansive terraces for all-weather enjoyment. The home’s two wings are both served by separate elevators.

The residence is exquisite, every detail beautifully curated. A grand foyer welcomes with glass double doors accented with glass-stained details and framed in mahogany ushering into white marble floors. The staircase ascending past double-height Palladium windows drenches the area with natural light.

Both the living and dining rooms are spacious enough to accommodate a large number of guests, opening to the lovely alfresco spaces, yet can easily adapt to more intimate gatherings. The home’s dramatic architectural features include archways, wainscotting, Palladian windows throughout, French doors, crown moldings, and expansive walls for displaying large paintings. The living room is appointed with a woodburning fireplace and a dark marble mantel flanked by alcoves to display smaller art treasures. It also opens to a vast terrace for alfresco entertaining.

The chef’s kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, ivory cabinets and dark textured marble countertops. The large center island sits in the middle of the space and overlooks the fireplace. French doors open to a breakfast room and winter garden with glass walls, vaulted glass ceiling and fireplace. Also on this level is the comfortable family room with yet another fireplace.

The primary suite is an oasis of calm: A large seating area in front of a fireplace and apart from the sleeping area, an enormous Art Deco-inspired bath and massive two-story closet, connected by a spiral staircase, with attached walk-in cedar closet. Five additional bedrooms are in the adjoining wing, two on the dormered third level.

The ground level hosts most of the recreational amenities with another full kitchen for easy entertaining. The multiple outdoor spaces include intimate seating clusters, all beautifully manicured and one with a fire pit. There is a five-car garage.
