Perfectly sited on an historic River Road skirting the Hudson, the c.1820 Garrett Sickles House was expertly treated to a four-year restoration completed in 2023. This well-proportioned center hall was reimagined in collaboration with famed interior designer Nick Spain, and the house has been impeccably renovated from stem to stern: boasting of timeless finishes, modern conveniences and a touch of Brutalism in its cast. Featured in the likes of Wallpaper* and Upstate House, this property drips with timeless cool: original details are found throughout, from lavishly wide floorboards and chestnut ceiling beams to original moldings and an early American fireplace. The first floor presents a newly-designed kitchen featuring a massive green soapstone island and striking floor-to-ceiling & wall-to-wall windows - creating a bucolic diorama with its natural setting of fields and trees. A professional grade French door refrigerator and separate butler's pantry, Bosch dishwasher and oversized Verona stove make cooking and hosting next level. The dining room features a new wood-burning stove, foot-wide floorboards, beautiful wall coverings and dramatic lighting. The golden and earthy tones continue to the living room, where symmetrical design makes the working fireplace the focus and six-over-six windows allow the western sunset to bathe the space in natural light. Off the living room, the first floor bath nods to modernism with a custom concrete sink, green concrete-skimmed walls and imported handmade plumbing mixing with the original restored clawfoot tub. An adjacent home office sits on the southeast corner of the home with windows on both sides, making it the perfect place to focus and find inspiration. Upstairs, the color palette lightens. A guest bedroom with its own private staircase has two built-in beds, allowing guests autonomy and seclusion. The primary oversized bedroom holds large windows on three sides. Cross breezes keep the space cool in the summer, and the internal chimney warms the home on winter nights. A second bedroom adjoins the main bedroom, as does a custom bathroom featuring Waterworks fixtures, a deep soaking tub, a double sink and floor to ceiling handmade Spanish tiles. Outside, the original cedar facade of the home was hand restored and finished. An inviting porch on the front of the house and a larger one on the back makes for the perfect setting to read a great book or share in conversation with friends. The Garrett Sickles House is a true, move in-ready oasis featuring new househol View this listing at: http://donnamariechaimanis.laffey.com/mls=865041
