Perched high on a hill, presiding over a rolling green expanse to the mighty Hudson River below, sits a grand and exquisite Greek revival home known as Aberdeen. Built in 1828 in West Park, a hamlet of Esopus NY, Aberdeen sits amongst many glorious, historic river front homes built by some of America's most notable families. Considered to be Ulster Counties most impressive Greek Revival house, every original detail of this architectural beauty has been carefully restored and respected, while being elegantly updated with luxurious custom fixtures and materials of the highest quality, all referencing the homes rich history. As impressive as the interior of this 6 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home is-the experience of stepping out onto the rear portico with its two storied fluted ionic colonnade- taking in the river views and the Vanderbilt Mansion perfectly framed out across the water, is simply breathtaking. There are 9 private acres in total, comprised of handsome stone terraces with stairs down to rolling lawn, open fields and wooded areas, all leading to the waterfront with over 400 feet of rare private river access. Upon entering the home one is struck by the grand proportions of the rooms, the remarkable refinement of the original details that have impressed for hundreds of years and the lovely light throughout. To the right is a double parlor, featuring lovingly restored cast plaster crown moldings, and 2 of the 9 working fireplaces in the home- four of them outfitted with gas. To the left is the exceptional formal dining room with working fireplace and a door to the winding back stair leads from the attic level down to the beautifully restored basement with a discrete laundry room and a romantic wine cellar and tasting room. The enormous eat-in kitchen wing of the home is accessed via a handsome butler's pantry with exposed beams, custom cabinetry and a wood fired oven built into the wall. The chef's kitchen is a wonderful mix of rustic original elements, contrasting with high end modern appliances, luxurious marble counter tops, custom cabinetry and two sinks. French doors open onto a covered porch and bluestone terrace beyond. A serene study lined with book shelves and a curved formal central stair that winds its way to the second floor complete the ground level. Upstairs, four bedrooms are accessed via a wide central gallery that extends from the front of the house to the back. Just as it does on the first floor, the Hudson River features prominently and comes in and out of view as one passes from room to room. An amply sized primary bedroom suite sets a luxurious tone with a gas fireplace and quietly opulent bath en-suite featuring gorgeous floor to ceiling tile work, claw foot tub, massive overhead rain shower and a gorgeous double marble sink with handsome brass fixtures throughout. There are three other beautifully appointed bedrooms in this central portion of the house which share another similarly appointed bathroom, with direct acce © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
