Overview
Beautifully renovated, 19th century colonial style home, with a charming, covered porch, situated on a private, 1 acre lot with a huge lawn, that is tucked behind a lovely 125-year-old stone wall. Hook Mountain is in the background and the Hudson River is in the rear. In addition, this site, offers an exciting village lifestyle, with Main Street a short distance away, and over 2, 000 acres of parkland on the river, a short walk away. The home is approximately 4, 000sf with an oversized two car garage and a huge deck overlooking the river. It’s reminiscent of a 19th century home often found in the South, from a bygone era. It offers a large front porch that runs the width of the house with five sets of double French doors. Its center set of doors are larger and feature a Transom widow on top. These doors are the focal point of the great room and bring bright sunlight into the home and create an open feeling. This room also features a period style, winding, semi-circular staircase, which is in the middle of the great room, creating a dramatic entrance. There’s also a wood burning fireplace, 20+ft ceilings, and open access to the family room, modern kitchen - which has a second fireplace in the dining area, and a huge outdoor deck that faces the Hudson River. In addition to these spaces there are three family rooms/dens, 5 bedrooms, including a first-floor bedroom and bath. The garage attaches to a large mudroom, and there is a basement. Nyack offers a variety of international restaurants and shops, extensive hiking trails, access to the Hudson River, tennis courts, marinas, golf and NYC transportation. This unique home was built on the property of a historic circa 1896 home, Watercrest, built as a summer home for R. Dickinson Jewett, who had homes in NYC and Washington D.C. Truly, nothing compares to this unique gem.
