Stansbury House, a luxurious circa 1830s Greek Revival style home on about 1.4 acres, located in the Snedens Landing historic district, which dates back to the late 1600s, and is composed of about 100 properties. Accordingly, it's a wonderful "walking community" where one can admire many of these historic treasures, up close & personal. This property is centrally located and is only five minutes to the Hudson River on the east, 3,000 acres of parkland on the north and south, and the Snedens Landing Tennis Assoc court just down the hill.
The home and pool house (with full bath & wetbar) have been extensively restored, maintaining its original charm but with a modern edge. Stylish new kitchen, baths, use of wallpaper, paint color/finishes, enhance this transitional feeling of historic meeting chic/modern.
It features many of its original details including: mullioned transom and sidelights surrounding the front door, distinctive "eyebrow" windows on its front side, wide board pine floors, period fireplace mantels, period stairwell/banister, panel doors, an old fashion screened in porch overlooking its backyard, built in corner cupboards in the dining room, original moldings and more.
The home's new kitchen opens to the dining room and has a rear door to the yard.
There is a one-story wing added in the mid 20th century, off the kitchen, which features a family room, 4th bedroom, den and full bath. Upstairs find additional 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and open porch facing the rear yard and pool.
Part of the Snedens Landing lifestyle is about walking in many different directions, NYC culture, and the historic Hudson Valley and all it has to offer. Another 5 min walk, west, is "The Market", where you can find a lobster roll to Hamburger, to green salad, it's where the neighborhood comes together. Or walk to the Palisades Community center, where from Spring to Fall there are Farmer's markets most weekends, or the library, which has many interesting events for the public. And the historic Hudson River front village of Piermont is only a 5-minute drive, and offers lots of restaurants, art galleries, marinas, and many walking trails on the river. Best of all, there is no thru traffic in the neighborhood, so it's a great place to walk and bike
