1 Vivian Place

At the beginning of a cul-de-sac, beautifully set on 1.16 acres, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Colonial makes an immediate impression. An expansive circular driveway and timeless brick façade create a striking and elegant approach, setting the tone for what's to come. Offering over 4,600 square feet, plus an additional 1,600 square feet in the lower level, the home provides exceptional space and flexibility.
A gracious entry foyer with a turned staircase welcomes guests with ease. Formal spaces flank the entry, an elegant dining room to the left, appointed with sconce lighting, chair rail, bay window, and a stunning fireplace with marble surround and classic white mantle. To the right, the formal living room features recessed lighting, a bay window, and French doors leading to a screened-in patio with bluestone flooring. . . an ideal, quiet retreat.
The kitchen offers an expansive footprint with wood cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and a generous eat-in area with built-in buffet cabinetry. Beyond, a dramatic second dining area showcases a cathedral ceiling and three walls of windows, capturing panoramic views of the backyard. Sliding doors open to a brick patio framed by knee walls, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience designed for entertaining on a grand scale.
Just off the kitchen, a step-down family room is rich in character, featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and exposed hand-hewn beams--evoking the charm and craftsmanship of another era. This space functions beautifully as a secondary sitting area or could easily be reimagined as a playroom tucked privately off the main living areas.
On the opposite side of the home, a richly detailed office wrapped in mahogany with custom millwork offers a true executive workspace. With a full bath just steps away, it also presents an ideal guest suite option. A laundry room, powder room, and access to the oversized two-car garage complete the first level.
Upstairs, five bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable accommodations, with the potential to easily create an additional bedroom and bath if desired. Four bedrooms feature double closets, while the primary suite is a true retreat--complete with a wood-burning fireplace, large walk-in closet, dressing/sitting area, and an ensuite bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A large cedar closet offers an opportunity to be reimagined as a second-floor laundry or additional full bath.
The lower level spans over 1,600 square feet and is ready to be finished to your needs, with direct access to the backyard via Bilco doors. Whether envisioned as a recreation space, guest suite, gym, or workspace, the possibilities are endless.
Set in one of Rockland County's most picturesque communities, Montebello offers scenic mountain views, expansive properties, and a true sense of place--all just moments from the NYS Thruway, with convenient access to nearby Suffern's train and bus service for commuting.
