North Jersey estate, nestled in the affluent town of Alpine, has finally found its perfect match after a six-year journey on and off the market. The stunning property at 16 Dogwood Lane sold for a whopping $7.25 million on February 3rd, marking a triumphant end to a prolonged search.
The listing was expertly handled by Taylor Lucyk of The Taylor Lucyk Group at Christie's International Real Estate, along with Richard Orlando and Jason Pierce of New Jersey Proper at Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Real Estate. Their dedication and passion for the property paid off, as they successfully navigated its complex history to find a discerning buyer.
This 11,623-square-foot masterpiece boasts six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and an impressive array of luxurious features. Designed by renowned architect James Paragano in 2008, the sleek estate showcases 12-foot ceilings on the first floor, three living spaces, a gourmet chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, five marble fireplaces, a home theater, and a fitness room.
What sets this property apart is its breathtaking diamond cut limestone exterior, a rare and expensive feature that adds significant value to the estate. According to Lucyk, incorporating such a material on a large scale is virtually unheard of in their area, making this Alpine property a true gem. The Vermont slate roof, another unique aspect, provides durability and an eco-friendly touch.
Lucyk credits their success to highlighting the home's key features and staging it to perfection. "We took the time to learn its ins and outs, and properly showcase its best qualities," he said. "It was a challenge, but we were determined to find the right buyer." After overcoming obstacles related to the property's history and multiple price changes, they finally struck gold with a savvy buyer who appreciated the estate's unique charm.
This Alpine gem is a testament to the power of perseverance and expertise in the world of high-end real estate. As Lucyk aptly put it, "Who knows this house better than us?"
