Overview
First time ever on the rental market. Offered partially furnished. Romantic, colonial revival residence, located very close to the Hudson River, with river views from every room, and situated behind a 125 year old stone wall, on a flat, secluded lot with mature trees and plantings. This 4, 000sf home is reminiscent of a 19th century style found most often in the southern states. Its large property offers a great lifestyle because of its privacy and close proximity to the village, Hook Mountain Park/Beach, Upper Nyack Tennis court, The Field Club, marinas, restaurants, NYC Transportation and more. The home’s exterior is distinguished by a large front porch that runs the width of the house with five sets of double French doors. Its central set of doors are taller and feature a Transom widow on top. These doors are a focal point of the great room, and bring much afternoon sunlight into the home. This room also features a period style, winding, semi-circular staircase, which is located in the middle of the room, creating a dramatic statement. There’s also a wood burning fireplace, 20+ft ceilings, and access to the family room, modern kitchen - which offers a 2nd 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 or dens, 5 or 6 bedrooms, including a first-floor bedroom and bath. There is also an oversized 2-car garage, that attaches to a large mudroom , and a big basement. The 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. Nothing Compares.
