A listing for the curious, 2026
740 River Rd
Teaneck, NJ 07666
A 1924 Dutch Colonial cottage on a private cul-de-sac lot, designed by architect Frederick T. Warner and expanded with modern finishes — pine floors, a six-burner Wolf range, and a fully fenced backyard with an above-ground pool.
About this home
Designed in 1924 by Frederick T. Warner, expanded for modern life in 2008 — and still exactly what a home should feel like.
740 River Road is a Dutch Colonial cottage designed by Frederick T. Warner — a Cornell-educated architect and one of the most significant builders in Teaneck history. The home sits on an 8,451-square-foot private lot on a cul-de-sac shared by just three homes, with the seller holding ownership of the shared driveway.
Step inside to pine floors, decorative arched doorways, and a wood-burning stone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen features a six-burner Wolf range, KitchenAid professional exhaust, granite counters, custom white cabinetry, and an exposed brick backsplash. Slider doors open to a wrap-around slate patio — the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that makes a 1924 home feel surprisingly current.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers bamboo floors, cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a picture window overlooking a fully fenced private backyard. Two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors, a pass-through full bath with double-sink vanity, and a walk-up attic complete the upper level. Below, a semi-finished basement provides flexible space, while outside, a detached brick garage, above-ground pool, and 23 documented improvements from 2022–2026 confirm this home is truly turnkey.

The streets around it
A few blocks worth knowing.
Cedar Lane is one of Teaneck's most walkable corridors — a Walk Score of 83 means most errands can be done on foot. The intersection of Cedar Lane and River Road anchors a neighborhood of mature trees, well-kept homes from the 1920s through 1950s, and a village-like rhythm of café visits, park walks, and weekend farmers' market trips.
Multiple NJ Transit bus lines serve the corridor (175, 178, 755, 772, 780), and the Anderson Street station on the Pascack Valley Line is a roughly 15-minute walk away. Teaneck's public schools, including Thomas Jefferson Middle School, are part of a well-regarded district.
