Tucked into one of Yonkers most sought-after residential enclaves, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom split-level home delivers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and city-close convenience. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot, the property offers the quiet seclusion of a true retreat while keeping Manhattan within easy reach—just minutes to Metro-North and major parkways for a straightforward commute into the city. Step inside, and the custom woodwork speaks for itself. Solid oak doors run throughout the home, setting a tone of quality and permanence that carries into every room. A cedar-lined closet adds natural, elegant storage, while the thoughtful split-level layout creates distinct, private spaces for living, working, and entertaining. Anchoring the home is a custom fireplace crafted with stone imported from Portugal—a true statement piece, hand-selected to match the careful, intentional design that defines every corner of this residence. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances and a professional-grade Wolf range—built for the serious home chef. But the culinary experience doesn't stop there: a dedicated indoor barbecue room brings a true chef's grill inside, letting you fire up the grill year-round, no matter the season. It's a feature you simply won't find in most homes, and it makes entertaining effortless in any weather. Full walls of windows in the dining and sitting rooms flood the interior with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Then there's the bar. More than an afterthought, this spacious private bar off the family room is a destination in its own right—a genuinely unique space designed for hosting friends in style or pouring a quiet drink after a long day. Paired with the barbecue room, it turns this home into an entertainer's dream. A private in-home office suits today's work-from-home lifestyle, and a large basement provides generous storage to keep the home organized and clutter-free. Outside, a brick paver patio, updated wood deck, and brick paver driveway combine curb appeal with everyday functionality—ideal for summer gatherings and quiet evenings alike. Character, luxury finishes, and modern updates come together here in a way that's genuinely hard to find. Whether you're gathered around the imported-stone fireplace, grilling in the barbecue room, or entertaining at the private bar, this home offers no shortage of spaces to love.

About Crestwood
Lake
Crestwood Lake, located between Bronx River Road and the Bronx River Parkway, is a residential and lakeside Yonkers neighborhood with a private-lake setting and wooded edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Crestwood Lake gatehouse and beach area, where docks, a small clubhouse, and seasonal lake activity set the tone. Streets feature mid-century colonials, tidy capes, and a few larger contemporaries on curving, tree-lined blocks. The lakefront paths and pocket greens shape a quiet, outdoors-forward rhythm. For a local cultural anchor, the nearby Hudson River Museum and Untermyer Gardens Conservancy add gallery time and formal landscapes. Crestwood Station ties the area to the Metro-North corridor with a commuter cadence.
