Property Description

Built in 1936 as the guest house of the William Smith estate (of cough drop fame), this Dutch-style stone cottage retains the historic charm of its Hudson Valley heritage. More recently, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation and stylish addition, thoughtfully preserving its romantic character while expanding and adapting it for modern living.

Today, the three-bedroom, three-bath home offers a rare balance of historic artistry and contemporary luxury. Modern amenities and mechanical systems complement original oak and slate floors, exposed beams, period doors, and vintage hardware. The upper level accommodates two bedrooms, a full bath, and generous closet space. On the main level, the living room features a large working fireplace and custom built-ins. Exposed stone walls and a bank of windows frame the open kitchen, dining, and office spaces, capturing a treehouse ambience in summer and stunning sunsets over the mountains in winter. A great room boasts soaring ceilings and leads to a covered porch. The classic primary suite includes a gracefully updated bath. The lower level offers a stone room with an oversized fireplace perfect for cozy entertaining or a private retreat, while a large flexible space allows for a home gym, workshop, or hobby space.

Situated on 3.5+ private acres at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, the home sits atop a wooded ridge. The spacious, lavender-lined and locally sourced stone patio with firepit, as well as the multiple gardens and surrounding mature trees create an inviting outdoor setting for dining, entertaining, or delighting in the tranquility of the grounds. Located just ten minutes from Metro-North, the Hudson River waterfront, a vibrant local dining scene, and boutique shopping, this enchanting sanctuary beautifully harmonizes its historic essence with contemporary luxury.
