Description

Rare open views of the Hudson River and the Palisades... This handsome early 20th Century manor home is privately positioned on a landscape worthy of the Hudson River School. With over two acres of rolling lawns and sparkling lap pool with converted barn for a pool house, the grounds offer a rare sanctuary from the bustling city life just 20 miles away. Completely and artfully rebuilt in 2010, by noted local architect, Stephen Tilly, the interior design embraces early 20th century elegance and essence while impressing with modern amenities and comfort. No detail was spared: from the hipped roof with balustrade, premium materials like cypress woodwork shingles and solid bronze hardware to the wrap-around colonnaded veranda that ensures lovely breezes and stunning sunset viewing. Masterful renovations to the main house include converting several small interior spaces on the ground floor into a large open plan that’s drenched in sunlight thanks to all-new oversized windows. Timeless architectural details include crown molding, decorative millwork, 9 ft ceilings and wide-plank oak floors. Perfectly preserved from the original home is the classic front staircase with rope spiral pattern balusters. The sunlit kitchen with center island and chef grade stainless steel appliances spills into a family room featuring gas burning fireplace and doors to lawns and gardens. On the second floor, the palatial primary bedroom enjoys 3 exposures with epic river views, dressing room and a sprawling bath with soaking tub. Across the landing, an office/bedroom has its own full bath. The third floor offers myriad options for family and guests with 4 perfectly proportioned bedrooms, full bath with stylish salvaged antique tub and storage. Hastings-on-Hudson is a friendly and vibrant village with its exceptional galleries, cafes and bistros and Farmer’s Market. The commute to Grand Central is under 40 minutes with river views along the way. This heritage riverfront estate offers a rare opportunity to possess a refined country getaway a half-hour from Manhattan.
