Perched on over 1.5 acres of breathtaking grounds in Croton-on-Hudson, this extraordinary property with sweeping year-round Hudson River views is a rare blend of history, charm, and serenity. Originally built as the gatehouse to the historic Hessian Hills Country Club, the home welcomes you with its original stone pillars and beautifully preserved stone walls lining the private driveway, setting the tone for the remarkable retreat beyond.
Inside, this inviting 2-bedroom home (LIVES LIKE A 3-BEDROOM) offers an airy open-concept layout filled with natural light and stunning river vistas from nearly every room. The main floor features an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a spacious pantry, and a dramatic five-foot picture window perfectly framing the Hudson River. The dining area features sliding glass doors leading to the deck, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining, while the open-concept layout seamlessly connects to the spacious living room. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout, and the home also offers an abundance of closet space, providing exceptional storage and functionality.
The main floor also features a private guest suite complete with a full bathroom, charming stone wood-burning stove, river views, and a spiral staircase leading to a versatile bonus space perfect for a home office, studio, walk-in closet, or additional retreat area. Upstairs, you’ll find the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom, both enjoying beautiful Hudson River views, along with an updated full hallway bathroom, creating a comfortable and flexible layout.
Thoughtfully renovated in 2011, the home includes updated roofing, siding, insulation, and tastefully renovated bathrooms including a jacuzzi bathtub, seamlessly blending modern comfort with timeless character. The property itself is truly something special. A large detached three-car garage offers abundant storage and features a spacious loft above with electric — ideal for a studio, workshop, gym, or future creative space. Tucked away on the grounds, a separate detached artist studio with electric, heat, and air conditioning provides endless possibilities.
Outside, enjoy the soothing sounds of a babbling brook, relax beside the tranquil koi pond, and take in spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River from your own private sanctuary. With over an acre and a half of property, this home offers a peaceful escape while remaining conveniently close to everything Croton-on-Hudson has to offer.
A truly rare and magical offering where history, nature, and breathtaking river views come together in perfect harmony.
