Description
At the end of a long tree-lined driveway, sits a stately Neo-Gothic style home called Farview, nestled in the picturesque Hudson Valley. Gracefully set on 3.2 sprawling acres, featuring four expansive floors with 6 bedrooms and 6 full baths. This exquisite brick mansion was meticulously designed and constructed by the esteemed architect A.J. Downing in 1848. Perfectly positioned between the serene Hudson River and the desirable Sleepy Hollow Lake. Upon entering the home you're greeted by many original details, soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, flooding the space with natural light. Take in the breathtaking sights of the Catskill Mountains, Greene Mountains, the Berkshires, Sleepy Hollow Lake, and the Hudson River. From every window, the panorama unfolds like a living painting, each view more captivating than the last. The spacious living room is adorned by brick walls, exposed beams, wide plank floors and a wood stove, creating a cozy and airy ambiance. Exposed brick continues into the country kitchen, creating a charming and useful space. The dramatic dining room exudes a sense of grandeur that resonates throughout the entire home. A stunning brick fireplace serves as the perfect backdrop for intimate dinners or festive gatherings. The seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas ensures that the heart of the home is always filled with laughter and conversation, harmonizing with the whimsical vibe. Ascend the original staircase to find 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The expansive primary bedroom offers a serene sanctuary to begin and end your day. Each of the additional bedrooms on this floor is generously sized, featuring large windows framing delightful views of the surrounding landscape. The well-appointed bathrooms provide convenience blended with timeless charm for residents and guests alike. Continuing to the third floor, you'll discover a unique lofty space complete with kitchenette that can serve as an entertainment room, home office, or creative studio. This space offers access to the top of the three-level deck, an ideal vantage point for stargazing or enjoying your morning coffee. Additionally, there are two bedrooms and a full bath, with its versatile layout, this level provides endless possibilities for customization. The finished walkout basement features a large living space, kitchen and full bath offering limitless possibilities for use and enjoyment, including potential rental opportunities. Throughout the home, the attention to detail is evident in the original woodwork, intricate moldings, and carefully curated design elements that pay homage to the mansion's storied past. Outside is enchanting, with a romantic stone lined heart shaped garden and a variety of fruit trees, which beautifully reflects the love and care poured into the property over the years. Whether you seek a vibrant space for entertaining or a serene escape from the bustle of everyday life, this home offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and history. Just across the street, the Scenic Hudson's Forever Wild Nature Preserve offers a gateway to the Hudson River, complete with a kayak and boat launch, perfect for water enthusiasts.
