43 Appleton Place, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Elegantly poised on its hillside landscape and paired perfectly with its verdant surroundings, this uncompromising modern home stands alone. The exterior, composed in a contrast of dark and light, merges clean horizontal lines with double-height walls of glass creating an indelible architectural experience. Indoors, two towering walls of stacked picture windows are an aperture, sharpening your gaze onto an exhilarating four-season shimmering Hudson River view while capturing a glorious 180-degree panorama. The landscape and the vast sky become features of the home itself! The sophisticated interior is a serene arrangement of white walls, light wood floor planes, and glass, while streamlined black iron railings move gracefully through the open floor design and out to the exterior balconies. A comprehensive 2018 architect-designed renovation preserved the essence of the original while completely transforming the home into an astounding yet tranquil retreat - one that takes every opportunity to engage with the out of doors. Highlights include a sweeping main level living/dining area with soaring 17' high ceilings - compelling you to marvel at dazzling Hudson sunsets over mature trees and neighboring rooftops. A 5-star deluxe kitchen is a chef's paradise: custom cabinetry, 16' waterfall island, Viking suite of appliances, and adjoining breakfast banquette. The Primary suite is a haven unto itself: King-size built-in bed, sliders to upper balcony, generous walk-thru closet, and expansive spa bath w/ 2-person skylit step-in shower and heated floors. Exercise in a fitness room and kick back in the adjacent home theatre, both on a lower level where an expansive mudroom greets you from the heated 2-car garage. Outdoor connection is paramount: tri-panel glass doors create a 12' opening to flow into a lush backyard. Unwind in a free-formed Gunite pool with natural stone patio bordered by lavish hydrangeas. Then luxuriate in the hot tub or outdoor tile shower. Entertain graciously on a comfortable and sheltered living/dining area with bbq, fireplace and flatscreen TV. A heavenly hideaway awaits; a proposed roof deck with more spectacular views has a permit in place. With a 40-minute train ride to GCS nearby, this move-in-ready gem is a most unique retreat - so close yet feels so far.
