Located in one of Alpine’s most prestigious enclaves just eight miles north of New York City, this 20,000-square-foot estate at 38 Rio Vista Dr represents a pinnacle of grand-scale living. Designed by Boris Baranovich and constructed by Joe DiStaulo, the residence underwent a comprehensive gut renovation three years ago. The property is situated on a two-acre corner lot, secured by a gated entrance and a sweeping circular driveway that ensures privacy and a dramatic arrival. The exterior is defined by classic stucco construction complemented by a distinguished slate roof.
The interior layout encompasses 25 total rooms, including nine bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The bedroom count features six expansive family suites alongside three separate staff quarters. For formal and casual hosting, the home offers five impressive public rooms, such as a banquet-sized dining room, a refined living room, and a spacious family room. The residence is equipped with modern conveniences including an elevator serving all levels, a central vacuum system, and a full-house generator. The interior aesthetic is finished with a combination of hardwood and carpet flooring, while gas fireplaces provide warmth throughout the living spaces.
Recreational amenities are integrated throughout the estate, highlighted by a spectacular indoor pool complex housed in its own wing under a cathedral ceiling, complete with a water slide. Additional interior leisure spaces include a 14-seat movie theater, a professional gymnasium, an indoor sports court, a billiards room, and a dedicated playroom. The finished full basement provides further utility and space. Climate control is managed by a central air system, while heating is provided via natural gas, hot water, and radiant systems.
The exterior grounds are equally well-appointed, featuring a beautifully designed outdoor pool, a pool house, and a regulation-size tennis court equipped with lighting for evening use. Parking is accommodated by an attached four-car garage. This property is located within the Alpine Public Elementary and Tenafly High School districts. With its blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication, this estate offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a substantial residence in the Rio Vista section of Alpine, New Jersey.
