Set within Rio Vista—arguably Mahwah’s most coveted neighborhood—this distinguished residence is quietly positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac, across 3.62 acres of complete privacy. A long, winding approach reveals a stately brick-and-stucco façade framed by mature trees, professional landscaping, and elegant up-lighting. A gentle brook meanders along the front and side of the property, introducing a rare and calming natural element to the setting.
The home’s architectural presence is both refined and memorable, with twin front turrets lending a sense of timeless sophistication. Inside, a grand two-story foyer unfolds beneath a statement chandelier, anchored by a sweeping staircase. . . an introduction that feels both impressive and intentional.
Designed for both formal entertaining and everyday comfort, the main level flows with ease. A sunlit formal dining room captures beautiful afternoon light, while the oversized living room at the front of the home offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The great room spans front to back, defined by soaring tray ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and custom walnut inlays, all centered around a gas fireplace with marble surround and substantial white mantle, flanked by arched transom windows.
The kitchen is thoughtfully scaled and well-appointed with a 36" Viking range, direct-vent hood, maple cabinetry, and center island. It opens seamlessly to an expansive, newly installed composite deck where modern cable railing frames the view and a built-in gas fire table and dedicated gas line for grilling create a true outdoor living experience suited for entertaining, dining, or quiet evenings overlooking the property’s natural beauty.
A ground-level bedroom with ensuite bath provides ideal flexibility for guests or extended living, while a well-designed layout includes laundry, a powder room and pantry closet to complete the first floor. Hardwood floors extend throughout both the first and second levels, reinforcing a sense of continuity and quality.
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each offer ensuite baths, with three featuring walk-in closets. The primary suite is a private retreat, highlighted by tray ceiling, crown molding, and sitting area. Dual walk-in closets are complemented by a dedicated office or meditation room, complete with its own closet—an unexpected and highly functional addition. The bath is equally well-appointed with a double sink vanity, jetted soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, linen storage, and a separate water closet.
The full, unfinished lower level offers approximately 2,200 square feet with 8-foot ceilings, egress windows, and direct access to both the garage and foyer—presenting a rare opportunity to create a custom extension of the home tailored to your vision.
A property defined by scale, setting, and architectural presence— a lifestyle that is both refined yet inviting.
