Description

Located approximately 40 minutes from Manhattan, this award winning circa 1874 Second Empire residence offers a rare opportunity to own a fully restored and architecturally significant home that lives with a sense of ease and understated, casual elegance in the heart of Nyack. Defined by its iconic Mansard roof and renovated from stem-to-stern, the home blends historic character with a level of finish and livability that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today, creating a truly turnkey experience with nothing to do but move in and enjoy. At the center of the home is a large eat-in kitchen with Viking and Sub Zero appliances and generous gathering space, opening wide to a bluestone patio with seating for 14 and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living that naturally lends itself to entertaining. The grounds are inviting and well considered, featuring an inground heated spa/pool with waterfall and perimeter seating, a firepit area, open lawn and garden space, a charming potting shed, and a separate gym building just steps away, offering a setting that is equally suited to quiet mornings, long dinners with friends, weekend visits, and larger gatherings. Inside, the home retains its architectural presence while feeling warm and approachable, with an inviting foyer, an extraordinary period staircase with detailed balustrade, and beautifully scaled rooms throughout that allow for both lively gatherings and more relaxed, intimate moments. The living room and library each offer their own character, with a gas fireplace in the living room and a wood burning fireplace in the library, creating natural spaces for conversation or quiet reading, while the dining room is ideally positioned for both everyday use and more formal occasions. Spanning three full floors, the residence offers five bedrooms and five generously sized full baths, thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike, along with ample space for game nights, extended stays, and the easy rhythm of daily living. High ceilings, restored period details, and abundant natural light create an easy and inviting flow throughout the home. Set on one of Nyack’s most sought after streets, the property enjoys an easy and level walk to the village, where restaurants, cafes, the Edward Hopper House Museum, live music, community theatre, cultural events, riverfront parks, and the Hudson River waterfront are all part of daily life. With very limited inventory of fully restored historic homes in Nyack, this is a rare opportunity to secure a property of this caliber in a setting that offers both character and a distinctly livable, welcoming lifestyle, with the potential for a closing timeline that allows for full enjoyment of the outdoor spaces in the upcoming season.
