108 Washington Spring RD Palisades, NY 10964

Circa 1865, the Chester Post House in Snedens Landing is an excellent example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture so prevalent in Palisades in the second half of the 19th century. Available for the first time in nearly 50 years, 108 Washington Spring Road sits on a bucolic corner lot with views of garden beds filled with perennials, green lawn, and mature trees; with only the sounds of birds and a rambling creek to disturb your morning coffee. The current owners cleverly meshed the historic house and its original details wood burning fireplace in cozy living room, wide plank floors, picture perfect front porch with a modern renovation / addition. A kitchen with marble counters is open to a light-filled family room with a dramatic wall of windows that looks out on to a spacious deck. Take a nap on the breezy screen porch, potter in the flower beds, or stroll down to the banks of the Hudson River. Features include two wood burning fireplaces, free standing two car garage, mudroom entrance, and ductless AC units. Palisades is named for being the first break in the great Palisades cliffs that run along the Hudson River shoreline up from NJ; and Washington Spring Road, lined with 19th century houses, criss crosses its way down the gentle slope to the river. Before the construction of the Tappan Zee bridge, a small ferry (aka large row boat) ran back and forth across the river from Snedens Landing to Dobbs Ferry so residents (and the crops from the many local Rockland County farms) could catch the train to NYC. The days of the ferry are gone, but the historic magic of Snedens Landing lives on. Only 12 miles to the GW Bridge and easy access to NYC, NJ, Westchester, CT. Award winning South Orangetown Schools.
