32 Observatory DR Croton-on-hudson, NY 10520

This is a green and lush area, at the intersection of the majestic Hudson and turbulent Croton River, an area steeped in natural and human history. What makes this home so exceptional when there are many others that share this sense of place? It is the supremely successful integration of the human imprint on the man-made elements and the natural surroundings, a place eminently suited to the human spirit. This Tudor Revival home has, for close to 100 years, stood the tests of time, always welcoming to others, capturing the charms of a bygone era yet remaining a perfect retreat from the outside world for its keepers. This is a home, rigorously preserved yet thoughtfully expanded with total respect for authentic materials and aesthetic details while incorporating the changes demanded of modern life. The kitchen addition is not only gorgeous but also completely functional. All the systems are fully updated, large thermal pane windows are on multiple walls in many rooms and provide for an abundance of natural light. Each of the four bedrooms provides a welcome respite from the stresses of modern life. The renovated baths are modern, fresh and inviting. Everywhere there are views out to gardens of almost hypnotic beauty. These gardens have been planted and nurtured over many years, offering a glorious display without ever being less than a private cathedral for renewal and rejuvenation, lifting the spirits and cosseting the soul. Located on a cul-de-sac, in the Village with many nearby amenities what more could be asked?
