A New East Hill Gem Sets the Standard for Curb Appeal and Modern Living
By PNJ.com Staff Writer – November 15, 2025

When you drive down East Hill, the first thing that strikes most people is the polished, welcoming façade of the newest home in the block. The newly completed 4‑bedroom, 3‑bathroom residence, listed by PNJ’s featured realtor Mark Harris, boasts an understated elegance that “immediately grabs the eye,” the article reports. At a listing price of $2.3 million, the house is being hailed as a “hot property” in a neighborhood that has seen a surge of interest in the last few months.

1. Exterior Design – Where Curb Appeal Meets Function

The home sits on a generous 0.25‑acre lot and is fronted by a manicured lawn dotted with native shrubs and a formal walkway that leads to a two‑story, glass‑door entry. The stucco exterior is accented with natural stone trim that gives the building a timeless character while also offering excellent protection against New York’s harsh winters. A low‑profile, custom‑built garage with a third parking space accommodates guests and storage needs.

The front yard features a stone pathway that opens into a private patio, a perfect spot for summer barbecues. The designer, who has collaborated with the local builder, “chose the stone and plant palette to echo the surrounding landscape while creating a distinct look for the property.” A low‑maintenance garden of ornamental grasses, evergreens, and seasonal perennials ensures that the curb appeal remains impressive year after year.

2. Interior Features – From Kitchen to Master Suite

Inside, the home offers 4,500 sq ft of living space, including an open‑concept kitchen, dining area, and a living room that faces the front yard. The kitchen is a chef’s dream: a double island with a waterfall granite countertop, an oversized walk‑in pantry, and state‑of‑the‑art stainless‑steel appliances from Subzero and Wolf. A custom cabinetry finish in dark walnut adds warmth to the space.

The living room features a built‑in fireplace and large bay windows that allow natural light to flood the space. The home’s central location also houses a home‑automation system that controls lighting, temperature, and security—“a must‑have for the modern homeowner,” the article notes.

The master suite is a private retreat. A sitting area with a built‑in fireplace, a walk‑in closet that measures 8 ft × 12 ft, and a spa‑like ensuite bathroom with a freestanding tub, rain shower, and dual vanities underscore the luxury of the space. The other three bedrooms are all located on the second floor and share a full bath with a dual‑sink vanity.

3. Neighborhood – Where Lifestyle Meets Convenience

East Hill has long been prized for its tree‑lined streets, excellent schools, and close proximity to downtown Manhattan. According to the article, the new home is just a short walk from the East Hill Community Center, which offers fitness classes and community events. It is also within a 10‑minute drive to the nearest subway station, making it an attractive option for commuters.

The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of historic row houses and modern condominiums, creating a vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere. Local cafés, boutique shops, and a small farmers’ market contribute to the neighborhood’s charm.

4. Market Context – Why This Property Is Hot

The article cites data from the New York City Real Estate Board that shows a 12% increase in median home prices in the East Hill area over the past year. The low inventory of homes available, coupled with rising demand from families and young professionals, has created a competitive market. Mark Harris notes that the house has already attracted “a significant amount of interest from serious buyers,” and that the listing price is “very competitive given the amenities and location.”

“Because it’s a brand‑new construction, buyers can’t find a comparable home in the area,” Harris says. “The price is high, but the features justify the investment.”

5. Additional Resources

Readers interested in seeing the property up close can take advantage of a 3‑D virtual tour linked within the article, as well as an exclusive video walkthrough hosted on PNJ’s real‑estate page. For those wanting to learn more about the builder’s portfolio, the article includes a link to the developer’s website, where potential buyers can explore other projects in the region.

6. Takeaway

In a market where the best of East Hill is highly sought after, this new home offers a rare combination of striking curb appeal, luxurious interior finishes, and prime location. Whether you’re looking for a family home or a stylish pied‑mont for a single professional, the property’s features make it a standout listing. According to PNJ’s experts, it’s a “must‑see” for anyone serious about owning a piece of East Hill’s future.

The article concludes with a quote from the builder: “We’ve poured our heart and soul into creating a home that feels both timeless and contemporary. This house isn’t just a place to live; it’s a statement.”
