Description:
Marvel
at the
panoramic
Hudson
River
views
from
this
Irish
Palladian
inspired
home
built of
granite
with
limestone
detailing
and
modified
quoin
relief
at the
corners.
The huge
windows
– 10’ by
6’ on
the
ground
floor
and 7’
by 5’ on
the
second
floor –
are
undivided
to
optimize
the
views.
Four
oversized
chimneys
maintain
the
purity
of form
and
solidity;
two are
functioning,
two hide
plumbing,
AC and
elevator
to
widow’s
walk.
The
custom,
stained
casework
and
woodwork
lend a
club-like
atmosphere.
Opening
from the
central
reception
hall,
the
kitchen,
library
and
living
room
provide
access
to the
family
room and
dining
room.
Axes of
symmetry
and a
maximized
sense of
scale
pervade
the
design.
The
second
floor
features
a center
hall
with
access
to the
south
porch,
laundry,
and the
four
bedrooms,
each
with
ensuite
bath, in
the
corners
for
light
and
ventilation.
The best
views
are
enjoyed
from the
game
room
with wet
bar and
access
to
covered
porch on
the
third
floor.
The
finished
lower
level
adds an
additional
3000
square
feet.
Amenities

Creston
Audio-Visual
system,
Luton
lighting
system,
13 zone

internet
and
“smart”
wiring
in every
room. A
1
bedroom
studio
apartment/in-law
suite is
tucked
over the
detached
3 car
garage.
From the
electronically
controlled
gate,
the
meandering
1 mi
drive
ends at
the
granite
courtyard,
enhanced
by
terraced
gardens
and
fountain.
Behind
the
home,
the
terraced
hillside
incorporates
the pool
and
patios.
Adjoining
the
Hudson
Highlands
State
Park,
this
exquisite
home and
spectacular
setting
provide
the
privacy
and
environment
for the
perfect
country
retreat.
