It sits atop a large lot at one of the highest points in the city, and has Hudson views from the multiple second floor and Penthouse porches. The house is entered either from a private motor court or from the street via a formal stone walk to double doors, leading to a double height Ionic foyer, with enfilade views into the Dining, Family & Living Rooms. A stair to the side leads one to the second story with a porch overlooking Van Cortland Park, and a spacious Master Suite with a Sitting Room, large His and Her Closets, and Bathroom with separate Shower and W.C. compartments. The Penthouse has three more spacious bedrooms, two with their own porch.Above the Garage is a spacious studio with it’s own bathroom and exterior access, perfect for a home office or live-in Nanny.
