Description
A truly rare Tudor Revival mini-estate with “unbounded views: a panorama of blue-gray Hudson River with the Westchester hills in the distance and the little town of Nyack below” such is the description of this magical property which in 1926 was part of the first American Ashram inspired by Yogi and spiritual leader Pierre Bernard of the great Oom. This 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath stucco and stone home is a work of craftsmanship with steeply pitched roofs, multiple gables and half timbering that features rustic stone porches and hand crafted artistry both inside and out. It will delight your whimsy and love of history but it is also firmly grounded in the 21st Century with a custom chef’s kitchen, updated baths, two laundries, state of the art heating, cooling and landscaping which features specimen trees, patios and terraces with pristine perennial gardens offering color and texture to all four seasons, framing the expansive Hudson Valley views from every angle of this 1.1 acre oasis. A restored Gunite salt water pool is a serene punctuation to the astounding beauty of the grounds. Inside the rooms are spacious and magical -many featuring river views, beautifully figured maple arched doorways, Pecky Cypress 9ft. ceilings, pine and local bluestone floors. Two-car stone garage, deer fencing, restored steel casement windows and custom wrought iron gates are just a few of the serious features of this lovingly restored home bordering state property and perched high on the hills of South Nyack.
