Riverwood sits atop 17 private riverfront acres with sweeping views looking east over the Hudson. Originally built in 1850, the house was wholly reenvisioned and renovated over several years to accentuate its unique and magical setting on the river. There are far-reaching, lush views from almost every room in the house and multiple outdoor moments nestled into the dynamic surrounding landscape. The decision to incorporate historic details like the original hand-hewn beams with clean, modern lines and finishes, including soothing and light earthy colors, is perhaps the most alluring detail about the renovation completed meticulously by skilled artisans from the area. A long, winding driveway opens to a view of the most gently cultivated part of the property - the 19th-century barn overlooking a large pond, surrounded by a mix of woods, walking paths, and flowering plants. As you continue past the pond to approach the home, the first hint of the river view emerges and is quickly revealed in full force as you wander through the entrance into the main living area. The ground floor is anchored by a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and is also home to the kitchen, dining room, lounge with a built-in stone bar, powder room, and family room with floor-to-ceiling end-to-end windows on three sides, overlooking the river to the east, the pool facing to the south, and the pond on its west side. The kitchen is a true masterpiece of custom Italian cabinetry, Dekton countertops, and Pitt burners integrated into the stone. Utility space has been maximized to also include a large laundry room, pantry, storage, and gym. The second level splits into two wings with their own staircases. The owners' wing has a spacious primary bedroom with a gas fireplace and an ensuite bath with Cle-tiled floors, a custom onyx vanity, solid Travertine stone tub and double showers. Off the primary is a large deck offering the farthest-reaching river views on the property. There is an additional bedroom, also with an ensuite full bath, and a library/office. The guest wing is on the north end and hosts two further bedrooms and a full bath. The splendor of Riverwood's landscape and exterior scenes are positively breathtaking, from the gunite pool with a pavilion to the walking paths trailing through the rolling hills and forests, a pond, multiple terraces and an outdoor kitchen ripe for long summer dinner parties, a cedar sauna and hot tub, outdoor shower, mature plantings and wildflowers, and a historically significant barn, all creating a peaceful, picturesque Hudson River estate. Riverwood is located on a sleepy, quiet road, just 10 minutes from Amtrak and Metro North, 25 minutes from Kingston, a half hour to Inness Resort, and 90 minutes from New York City. © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
