“It gives you that grand feeling,” said Tony Nabhan, the listing agent, from Keller Williams City Views Realty in Fort Lee.

The walk-out basement level has a bedroom, a full bathroom, a kitchen, living area, gym and recreation area.

An elevator goes to all three levels of the home. “It’s really a multi-generational home,” Nabhan said.

“Everybody is going crazy over the backyard,” Nabhan said.
