RiverEdge

Just high enough above the river to give the sensation of being aboard a large riverboat, this 1850s house in the hamlet of New Baltimore was created in the fashionable Italianate manner. The river’s edge, over 100 feet of deep Hudson River waterfront, is directly accessible from the rolling lawn of this semi-private enclave of nearly half an acre. Tucked pleasantly below “Main Street” (which is more like a paved lane) the 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath home has an old-fashioned glass enclosed porch, and a catwalk to an attached ‘floating gazebo’ that gives full up-and-down-river views. There is a large master bedroom (direct river views) with woodburning fireplace. There is the many-windowed River Room and a cupola rising above the roof. A significant home on a rise of land chosen in the 19th Century for its special relationship to the river and now located within a National Historic District. Potential for enhancement is excellent.
