A Village home with genuine soul and a view to match.

Standing tall along the western side of Villard Avenue — Riverview Manor’s park-like thoroughfare — this magnificent 1915 Colonial commands sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Palisades beyond. Thoughtfully renovated and expanded over the years, the home strikes a perfect balance between preserved original charm and carefully considered modern updates — with custom built-ins, crown moldings throughout, and bespoke details woven into every room.

The first floor welcomes you with a gracious entry foyer that flows naturally into a serene sitting room, where eastern light fills the mornings and a dramatic picture window frames breathtaking river sunsets. French doors open onto a generous brick patio and a flat, sprawling backyard, dotted with mature trees — a private and tranquil outdoor retreat. The formal dining room continues the flow, with its own set of French doors to the patio, before opening into a large, light-filled eat-in kitchen anchored by a center island with stone countertops and seating for two, custom warm-toned wood cabinetry, glass-front display cases, a built-in hutch, and a decorative tile backsplash — all flooded with natural light from a clerestory window. The adjacent breakfast nook is a sun-drenched retreat wrapped in windows on two sides, with a gorgeous built-in sideboard that’s as functional as it is beautiful. A hallway off the kitchen leads to a mudroom and side entrance, a full bathroom, and a separate bedroom currently configured as a spacious home office — flexible space that works as hard as you need it to.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and a renovated full hall bathroom are joined by access to a full-height storage attic. The primary bedroom is a true retreat: a renovated en suite bathroom and a large wood-burning fireplace that brings warmth and character to the space in equal measure. The finished partial basement provides excellent additional storage, while the home’s systems — multiple split units for heating and cooling, complemented by a gas-fired hot water boiler serving the original cast iron radiators — ensure year-round comfort without sacrificing the home’s historic character.

Set in the storied Riverview Manor neighborhood, this is a rare Hastings gem in wonderful condition: high ceilings, crown moldings, lovingly maintained period details, and an easy walk to Metro-North and all the shops, restaurants, parks, schools, trails, and attractions that make the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson so special. Dobbs Ferry’s Main Street is just two minutes away.
