On nearly four acres off a private lane in the celebrity-studded enclave of Snedens Landing in the Rockland County hamlet of Palisades, New York, this charming property was built in 1986 by actor Bill Murray, who enjoyed it as a family home in the years that followed. Asking $3,695,000, the 5,177-square-foot main house at 19 Ludlow Lane comes with an additional buildable two acres.
The home’s design was inspired by an original 19th-century barn that had been on the property. A free-standing two-car garage has a separate office/studio above.
Rooms are spacious and sunny, in true farmhouse style. The renovated kitchen, done in green and sunny yellow, is anchored by a large prep island and the original 19th-century wood-burning fireplace.
Beneath 15-foot ceilings, the bright, open living room has notable architectural details that include another wood-burning fireplace and an office nook with a built-in day bed. French doors lead to a lovely wraparound porch that overlooks a large lawn–there’s even a treehouse. Also on the main floor are a laundry room and a bedroom with an en-suite bath.
The home’s central stair rises beneath a cupola, leading to the second floor. A sprawling primary suite has two walk-in closets and a full bath. On the other side of this floor are two more bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
An additional two-acre buildable lot at 28 Ludlow Lane is included in the sale. Just a short distance north of the George Washington Bridge, Snedens Landing, bordered by the Hudson River and a collection of parks, is known as a “secret” favorite neighborhood among celebrities like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Uma Thurman, Al Pacino, Björk, Scarlett Johansson, Jerry Hall, Rupert Murdoch, Murray and many more.
