Every window in this stunner looks onto natural beauty.

In Summer, you are nestled in the treetops which provide stunning greenery, privacy and needed coolness from the western sun. No matter the season, this is perfection. Smartly reconfigured, this one-of-a-kind home has been transformed into the ideal space for live-work and easy entertaining. At the heart of the home is an open great room framed by curved casement windows overlooking the Hudson River. Conversing with friends and family is a pleasure as you prepare a meal in your wonderful kitchen which has been fully renovated with stainless appliances, ample shaker-style white cabinetry with under counter lighting, granite counters enhanced by classic white subway tile and an inviting breakfast/dining bar.
