55 Hillside Rd Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Nestled in the foothills of the desirable Riverview Manor neighborhood, this updated mid-century home enjoys modern creature comforts without ever taking its eye off the surrounding lush landscape, the Hudson River, and the majestic Palisades that call to you through the trees. Equidistant to the vibrant downtowns of both Dobbs Ferry and Hastings on Hudson, this corner-lot home blends architectural innovation with nature's beauty-for a timeless and sophisticated living experience. The main entrance awaits down a modern bluestone staircase. Upon entering the inviting foyer, the clean, angular lines and open, flowing layout gently guide you toward the dramatic living room with its soaring ceiling, exposed brick wall, seductive wood-burning fireplace, and built-in window seat. The sprawling dining area at the opposite end features a sleek bar with built-in wine fridge. Light floods the entire space year-round through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Hudson and nearly uninterrupted wall of windows offering multiple access points to the wrap-around bluestone patio, intentionally designed for a seamless, California-style, indoor-outdoor living experience. The gut-renovated eat-in kitchen is a home cook's dream, equipped with a built-in banquette, oversized island, horizontal grain-matched walnut cabinets, abundant storage including an appliance garage, and top-of-the-line Thermador and Bosch appliances. In a quiet corner, you find an art/work station ideal for an industrious finger painter or Zoom caller. A large Elfa pantry, laundry room, and contemporary powder room complete the plan. Heading up the striking staircase past the double-high wall of windows, the brand-new primary ensuite has lofty ceilings, a spa-worthy bathroom-with a freestanding tub, separate glass-walled shower, radiant heated floor, and Kohler heated bidet toilet seat-ample closet space, and a tantalizing breakfast balcony that peeks through the trees at the Hudson River. The sunsets from this side of the home are awe-inspiring. Continuing down the hall are two bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and stairs that lead to a private fourth bedroom loft with its own enviable river views. An oversized garage was redesigned with a magazine-worthy mudroom equipped with cubbies for all eventualities, a closet for coats and luggage, a large chest freezer, and Elfa shelving throughout for maximal storage and easy organization. It also comes fully wired for Level 2 EV-charging. Outside, the new bluestone patio doubles the home's entertaining space with separate zones for dining, lounging, and cooking, including a kitchen with a built-in Blaze 40" grill and beverage fridge, pull-out trash/recycling, and powder-coated steel cabinetry topped with Caesarstone for outdoor spreads. Sonos-ready mounted speakers help set the party vibe. The property's four lots, equaling .51 acres -a luxuriously rare expanse in the Rivertowns-feature a gently sloping yard, perfect for outdoor movie nights or sledding, a well maintained swing set, spectacular centuries-old sycamore and oak trees, a mature native ornamental garden, and a "secret" pathway leading directly to the historic Old Croton Aqueduct trail. An easy walk to the Metro North station and all the shops, Michelin-rated restaurants, and attractions of both Dobbs Ferry and Hastings on Hudson. Located within the Dobbs Ferry School District.
