Description
"East Point" - this remarkable mid-century modern has complete and magnificent unobstructed views of the Hudson River and the Hudson River Highlands. Originally sited by Edgar Tafel, an architect among the best-known apprentices of Frank Lloyd Wright, this one-of-a-kind estate masterfully blends distinctive style with simple beauty both inside and out. Although originally built in 1949, the house was almost completely rebuilt 50 years later, retaining the integrity of the original vision. A low-profile layout with walls of floor-to-ceiling picture windows creates a natural harmony between the open-flow interior and its surrounding landscape, while stone fireplaces and warm woodwork enhance the home's effortless appeal. Enjoy the outdoors year-round on the expansive screened-in terrace featuring a grand fireplace and stone floors. The zen-like property spans nearly 6 acres with a balance of wooded and open areas, including lush gardens, multiple stone patios, custom gas BBQ, and a hot tub built into the exposed bedrock with a waterfall that cascades to the freeform pool below. A two bedroom guest cottage welcomes friends and family to their personal oasis with its own unobstructed views, a fireplace, and an attached two car garage. While East Point offers the utmost privacy, it's a short drive to the train, hiking trails and all that Hudson Valley has to offer. A true gem!
