River Home Off Market

Round out your life with peaceful privacy. Overlook the Harlem Valley from your own 9+ acre hillside of wooded Nirvana. Take in the views from your clear span living space through nearly 180 degrees of south-westward facing windows. The round house design requires no interior structural walls creating a truly great room encompassing what would traditionally be a living room, den, dining room, and kitchen. Partition walls on the opposite half of the circle create a primary bedroom and full bath, two additional bedrooms and a hall full bath. The great room has four double casement windows and a sliding glass door to the deck, all positioned for maximum sunset viewing. A hardwood floor spans the space and at center is a fireplace with a wood pellet stove insert. This giant space is immensely flexible, allowing you to set up your living space any way you desire. At the center of the room is the kitchen with a tile floor and half wall which allows you to talk with, and serve your companions in the great big open room. The unique configuration of the building provides all rooms with excellent thermal insulation characteristics, this will keep the house cool even on the hottest days and save heat in harsh climatic conditions. The property is wooded, with a lawn shaded by mature cedar trees. The home area is dotted with decorative shrubs and perennial flowers. The super convenient two car attached garage enters the home at the foyer. The garage doors are thoughtfully out-of-view at the rear of the home and the driveway wraps around. The driveway passes your section of a scenic stream with a pond and then winds up the hill through some woods. Behind the home and to the south stretch a separate included parcel of over 7 acres of woods. The land has tons of potential. A new home or other buildings could be sited, with some clearing fantastic gardens could be built, or even a secluded hilltop cabin. You'll be able to reach your round home easily as its located only 1.3 miles from the Dover Plains - NYC Metro North station and 1.5 miles to NY Route 22. Just steps from the property, the Perry Preserve, 120 acre preserve with marked trail and overlook.
