Description

Steeped in provenance, Rabbit Hill is the quintessential Hudson Valley estate. Set atop 22 acres with a spectacular view of the river, the house was designed by prominent architect Mott B. Schmidt for banker Willian S. Lambie. Completed in 1929 and meticulously restored in 2016, the house has a rich history and most recently served as a principal location for the Robert Deniro/Netfilx series Zero Day. The land is deeply private-a glorious tableau of sweeping lawns, perennial gardens, and quiet woodlands. Fenced and gated, the property begins with a quarter-mile long driveway leading through towering oaks and a stunning naturalized landscape. A lovely fountain centers the formal courtyard at the front entrance. The sprawling mansion comprises over 13,000 square feet on four levels. The interior embodies architect Schmidt's signature style and symmetry. Despite its size, the home lives on a human scale. A stair hallway reveals a curved floating staircase over a herringbone brick floor. The sunken family room includes three garden exposures through six over nine divided-light windows. The newly renovated kitchen tastefully presents a modern aesthetic while respecting the home's integrity. The second level includes six En-Suite bedrooms, an additional guest room with private bath, and spacious office with full bath. The grounds are immaculate. A 100 foot terrace, large pool house, and a 50 foot pool all face south and west towards the Hudson and Palisades beyond. Adjacent to the The Sleepy Hollow Country Club, Rabbit Hill is an extremely rare offering and opportunity of a historic house and property in superb condition and just 30 miles from Midtown Manhattan.
