A landmark manor shaped by scale, water and open western views
Set within the Tamcrest development, this approximately 14,000-square-foot Colonial manor occupies 1.54 acres divided between Cresskill and Alpine. The three-level residence combines a golf-course setting, a pond at the rear of the property and an extensive private amenity program led by an indoor pool, wellness spaces and a finished entertainment level.

Approximately 0.74 acre lies in Cresskill and approximately 0.8 acre lies in Alpine, creating an unusual cross-municipality setting within one cohesive property. The landscaped grounds extend toward an adjoining golf course, while a pond provides visual and physical separation from the fairway.
