Description

A rare offering on one of South Nyack’s most coveted dead-end streets, this beautifully maintained c.1866 center hall Colonial blends historic charm with modern ease and exceptional creative potential. Set on a full acre of park-like grounds—among the largest lots in the neighborhood—the property includes a restored two-story barn with heat and central air, ideal as a studio, workshop or office. Originally oriented toward the Hudson River—back when the river was the road—the home still captures water views from its east-facing rooms. What was once the front porch has been transformed into a generous screened porch overlooking the river, seamlessly connected to the expanded kitchen and family room. It’s an inviting, light-filled space designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the home is thoughtfully arranged in two wings. The primary suite occupies the south wing, featuring a dressing area with built-ins, a full bath, and a private balcony with river views and an outdoor shower. The north wing offers additional bedrooms, a newly renovated laundry room with brand-new appliances, and a bonus room with its own balcony. With over 2,000 additional square feet across a finished attic, basement playroom, and the barn, the possibilities here are expansive. Extensive updates by the current owner include upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, energy-efficient windows, central air on the first floor, renovated kitchen and baths, and a split system in the attic. This oversize village lot allows for subdivision. Just moments from the vibrant village of Nyack—with its shops, restaurants, and thriving arts scene—and an easy commute to New York City, this is a home that offers space, history, and inspiration in equal measure.
