River House. Authentic circa 1820s Greek Revival, thoughtfully reimagined to be a one-of-a-kind, 200-year-old home that’s been masterfully restored, renovated, and expanded by approximately 35%. Blending timeless, early American architecture with modern luxury, this serene retreat offers sweeping views of the Hudson River from nearly every room, inviting a deep sense of calm and connection.
Nestled in the historic village of Grand View-on-Hudson, just up the road from Piermont, this home is steeped in rich history. This property was part of the region’s famed sandstone/brownstone quarries, and the upper property still features dramatic quarry cliffs that rise behind the home, up a windy stone staircase to a large plateau —yours to explore. A rustic sandstone patio overlooks the river with panoramic vistas and Grandview’s historic rail trail above the property.
Escape to nature. Imagine!
Inside, period details have been lovingly preserved and paired with state-of-the-art systems and finishes. Wide-plank original floorboards, select windows with original wavy glass, handcrafted woodwork, and a classic stone fireplace recall the home’s early roots. These authentic elements are seamlessly integrated into the new addition, which includes a designer kitchen with Wolf oven/range, Sub-Zero Fridge, large island with stools, several antique cupboards with French doors – relocated from the 1920 addition that was rebuilt, large pantry, wine fridge, quartz counters, many closets, and large attic with pull down staircase for storage. Three full baths: primary with freestanding soaking tub next to to picture window, double vanity and large shower; second bath also with double vanity, and combo bath shower; third bath with a large shower. Big windowed laundry room facing yard, plus all-new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and central air. A new roof was added to entire house; the original section of roof was raised about 5 ft to extend the ceiling height. Steel beams were used during construction to support the original section of the house.
Outside, the property is surrounded by a lush, old-world garden featuring a vibrant collection of flowering plants throughout the seasons. A separate petite outbuilding—recently refinished with windows—offers flexible space for a cozy artist studio, writing nook, or garden retreat. There’s also a detached garage for added convenience.
River House is more than a residence—it’s a sanctuary. A place to grow, reflect, and live a waterfront lifestyle surrounded by nature, yet only minutes from New York City. This is your “One of One.” Welcome home!
