Own a Piece of Wall Street History
Whether you are a hot shot Wall Street banker or a history buff this home will capture your interest, and if you are both then this home is a must have.
This majestic home was built during the 1929 stock market crash, and was originally built for notorious Henry Royce, the President of the New York Cotton Exchange. It has been maintained impeccably, and virtually untouched for the past eighty years. The home boasts a stunning 3,360 square feet of living space plus a walk up attic, a full unfinished basement, a screened in porch and two walk out decks on the second floor. This classic four bedroom colonial has four working fire places, three full baths, two half baths and plenty of closet space even by today’s standards, many of them cedar.
Over more than a five year period this home has been professionally restored to its original beauty and grandeur. Every detail from the original toilets to the roof top has been repaired and/or reconstructed.
Only one hour north from New York City this stately home sits high on its 2.5 acres lot; with its massive tiered front lawn with awe inspiring views of Thunder Ridge Ski Area. Amenities include; a detached three car garage, central air conditioning and a gated driveway. The home has two means of heating that can easily be used individually or together, a recently updated oil furnace with classic hot water radiators that provides awesome heat throughout the home or a modern zoned electric heat pump system.
Close enough to Manhattan, yet far away enough to enjoy rural farms, skiing, apple picking, horseback riding and vineyards. Minutes from metro north with express trains to NYC daily, and close to major interstate highways and parkways such as I-684, I-84, the Taconic State Parkway, and Route 22. Don’t have a car? Included with this home an elegant all wheel drive Jaguar that can whisk you to the slopes or just around town on a lazy afternoon.
