Welcome to Gilman’s Carriage House, an extremely private home near the Hudson River in the exclusive Snedens Landing neighborhood of Palisades, 25 minutes to NYC. This home is a rare fusion of timeless history and modern luxury, located in the heart of Snedens Landing Historic District. Set on a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street just six homes from the Hudson River and a short four-minute walk to a sandy beach, this architectural gem offers serenity, sophistication, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Completed in 2021, this exceptional residence retains the spirit of a late 19th-century carriage house while delivering a bold, contemporary design. Inside, you’ll find 12-foot ceilings, wide-open living spaces, and expansive walls of glass that bathe the interiors in natural light and frame views of the lush, park-like grounds. At the heart of the home is a stunning great room and chef’s kitchen, featuring two six-panel retractable glass doors that open directly to the garden—ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. The design provides abundant wall space to showcase art, both large and small. Features include: Sculptural-like open stairwell with custom cable railing; two 16-foot wide interior doors and gleaming hardwood floors; recessed lighting and built-in music system; state-of-the-art kitchen and spa-inspired baths; oversized 4-car garage with work/hobby areas; large covered porches at both front and rear entries; Smart home technology throughout and private guest quarters for visitors or extended stays. Outdoors, you’ll find the largest private pool in Snedens Landing, once the site of legendary gatherings hosted by former owner Mike Wallace, where icons like Laurence Olivier, Ava Gardner, and Kirk Douglas were entertained. The home also sits near the Snedens Landing Tennis Association's famed clay court. All of this, just 25 minutes from New York City, in one of the most storied and secluded neighborhoods along the Hudson River. Gilman’s Carriage House isn’t just a home — it’s a lifestyle. Private. Iconic. Yours.
