Hudson Valley meets Napa Valley! Find stillness and peace as you enter this beautifully designed home sited on one of Hyde Park’s premier roads for expansive Hudson River views. Discreetly tucked away, this charming 1920s cottage was recently renovated, with contemporary design elements and a stylish addition. As you walk through the front door, the river welcomes you from the windowed French doors through the chic and airy living room. The open floor plan on the first level offers a spacious feeling and boasts a sitting room with stone fireplace, primary bedroom suite with a radiant heated spa bathroom, an additional full bath and beautiful garden and river views. The chef’s kitchen opens to the dining room, optimizing togetherness when entertaining. The second floor takes you to three bedrooms, one with a fireplace and all rooms with a view, another full bath and a second primary suite with a balcony overlooking the river. There is plenty of room for guests in this sunny home as well as many private spaces to read or dream. A windowed breezeway and sitting area with radiant heat bluestone floors leads to the second wing above the two-car garage with a newly installed elevator. Currently being used as library and office suite, this versatile space could easily convert to a guest apartment, exercise gym, yoga or art studio. Special features in this wing include a Trex deck balcony with river views, a full walk-in winter closet and a vault built for your collectibles. Outside features include extensive perennial landscaping worthy of Martha Stewart, a veranda, bluestone patio with fire pit, meditation area, and a newly built saline pool and patio for optimal relaxation in the warmer months. Other recent additions to the property include solar panels, new septic, mechanicals and a reverse osmosis water filtration. A haven from the bustling world, this property is a short walk from the Vanderbilt and Roosevelt Estates with gardens and hiking trails. A perfect location for boaters, it’s down the road from Rogers Point Boat Club, the Hyde Park Marina and a public boat dock. Less than 15 minutes from Rhinebeck, and minutes from the Culinary Institute, Vassar and Marist Colleges, Metro-North and Amtrak, this is the ideal location for weekenders from the city or full-time residents wanting to enjoy the Hudson Valley’s bountiful lifestyle.
