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.
