A six-bedroom estate on a 2.1-acre lot at 23 East Denison Drive in Saddle River has sold for $9.25 million, marking the highest-priced residential transaction recorded in New Jersey so far this year.
The transaction, which closed on August 17, 2026, represents a significant benchmark for the local real estate market. According to listing agent Jason Pierce, who heads up the New Jersey Proper team at Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, the sale is the highest-priced residential transaction reported by the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service in 2026.
Beyond setting the high-water mark for the current calendar year, the estate ranks as the fourth most expensive residential property sold in New Jersey over the last two years. According to industry tracking, the other three top-priced sales from this period were also located within Bergen County, reinforcing the region's position at the apex of the state's luxury market.
Saddle River has long been recognized for its expansive, multi-acre estates and notable residents, including former President Richard Nixon, who resided in the community from 1981 to 1991. The details surrounding the buyer of the Denison Drive estate remain confidential, as both Pierce and the buyer's agent, Max Stokes, declined to provide specifics about the new owner.
