You pull into the cul-de-sac and the house stops you before you get out of the car.
The arched windows. The stone and brick facade. The way it sits on its lot like it has always been there and always will be. That feeling is intentional. This home was designed that way.
The History
Frederick T. Warner was a Cornell-educated architect who spent his career recreating Dutch Colonial architecture in Teaneck with a precision that made 20th-century buildings read like 18th-century ones. He later developed the Fred T. Warner Historic District at Cedar Lane and River Road, a nationally recognized planned community that the Teaneck Historical Preservation Commission has documented as part of the borough's architectural legacy.
Warner built 740 River Road in 1924 for his daughter. This was not a spec home. It was a personal commission. That distinction shows in the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, the arched doorways, and the details that were done right because someone he loved was going to live there.
A century later, the bones are still the reason you want this house.
The Renovation and Upgrades
The home was expanded around 2008 in a renovation that respected the original Warner design. The current owner then completed 23 documented improvements between 2022 and 2026. New windows throughout. New custom front, side, and kitchen doors. New gutters. New garage door with opener. New water heater. Full PVC sewer line replacement. Both central air units updated. Kitchen GFCI outlets updated.
