5445 Palisade Avenue

The House

Set on a private cul-de-sac along Palisade Avenue, the house holds its corner of Riverdale with quiet authority.

Built in the 1920s and recently restored, this six-bedroom New England Colonial sits on nearly half an acre with majestic, year-round views of the Hudson River and the great cliffs of the Palisades. A stately columned porch and walled sunken patio open to a level, grassy yard — built for long dinners outdoors and for the kind of summer afternoons that linger.

Inside, three wood-burning fireplaces anchor the public rooms: a front parlor, a living room with French doors out to the porch, and a formal dining room with bay windows. The renovated kitchen pairs soapstone counters and a soapstone sink with a Blue Star six-burner range, Thermador refrigerator and dishwasher, and a Gaggenau steam oven and warming drawer. A new main-floor powder room sits off the hall, and a walk-through butler's pantry runs an 11-foot soapstone counter beneath custom glass-fronted cabinetry.

“The primary bedroom has a river view.”

Upstairs, the primary suite faces the river. A finished attic adds a family room and an office or playroom. Four-zone central air-conditioning, a tankless hot-water heater, an attached one-car garage with an outdoor EV charger, and a full unfinished basement round out the practical particulars.
