91 River Road

Limont House is a large, gracious and renovated 19th century colonial with separate guest/pool house, situated on 1.4 acres in a dramatic setting overlooking the Hudson River. Its interior features clean lines and a modern feel. The site was a former sandstone quarry that operated from the 1700s to the mid 1800s, with a walking/jogging/nature trail in the rear - the former Erie Rail trail. This home offers a vibrant waterfront lifestyle with the river across the street and a variety of marinas close by, as well as a village lifestyle, as its only a few minutes from downtown Nyack and Piermont, and the many restaurants, shops and parks they offer. The house is approximately 5,600sf and features oversized rooms, many archways on the main level, sandstone walls, classic stairwell - entry foyer, 2 wrap around porches with river views & French doors for access, and 4 woodburning fireplaces. The living room is very large and offers 10ft ceilings, built in shelving, a beautiful antique jade fireplace mantel and 2 double arched doors that lead to a large & sunny entry foyer. There's even a separate library off the living room's back hall. Both rooms have easy access to the porches too. Upper levels offer 4 bedrooms, den and 2.5 baths. Its lower, walk-out level offers radiant heat throughout and a family room with a empire style fireplace mantel, an awesome open dining room with a spectacular sandstone wall and another wood burning fireplace. There's also a large open kitchen with Miele, Sub-Zero, & Wolf appliances with lots of counter & wine cellar & pantry space. The large dining room with fireplace is open to the kitchen and features doors to wrap around lower level porch. Extraordinary views of the Hudson River from almost every room. There's also a separate workshop building and a gas generator. In addition there's a 2-story, 2 room, 2 bath pool or guest house with a wet bar area in the rec room and bedroom w/bath on second floor (w/separate entrance). The property also offers a beautiful gunite, heated pool with separate spa and awesome view of the river. The structures are in pristine condition both inside and out, as almost every mechanical has been replaced, including recent infrastructure replacements for exterior electrical, water lines, rebuilding stone walls, installation of French drains, and a new $40k coral fencing around part of the property - creating a huge yard which is now doggie proof too! The home's exterior is reminiscent of "Folk Victorian" style, primarily seen in the south, and defined by its double tiered porch with Italianate/gingerbread trim & side gambrel roof profile. The homes provenance goes back to the gilded age when it operated as a small hotel/boarding house to America's elite actors and tycoons of the age - Diamond Jim Brady and famed actress Lillian Russell were frequent guests. In later years the home was owned by actor, Burgess Meredith's sister, Mary Frank, a successful Broadway producer who loved to entertain at the property, and the next owner, a popular mystery book author. Limont House is one of Grandview's finest homes. A very special place. Floor plans and survey are available upon request. Additional Information: Amenities:Dressing Area,Guest Quarters,Soaking Tub,
