FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET IN 30 YEARS — "ARCADIA" c. 1850 Riverfront Historic Home offering 432 m² (4650 sq ft) of living space along the majestic Hudson River in the heart of Snedens Landing. Arcadia is a rare and historic Italianate Victorian residence, offering 49 meters (160 ft) of private rocky and sandy beach, extraordinary privacy, and sweeping river views from nearly every room.
Hidden on a quiet dead-end street with no through traffic, this remarkable property is situated within the Palisades Historic District — an enclave of approximately 100 homes surrounded by over 1,214 hectares (3,000 acres) of protected parkland, including Tallman State Park and the Palisades Interstate Park system. Just 25 minutes from New York City, it offers a serene retreat without sacrificing convenience. dating back to c. 1850 and believed to be one of the earliest Italianate homes in Palisades, Arcadia is architecturally significant.
Classic features include a low-pitched hip roof, wide overhanging eaves with prominent brackets, tall double-hung and bay windows with detailed entablatures, and a full-width porch complemented by a charming entry portico. Rich in provenance, the home was originally built by Colonel A.V. Elliot and later owned by Henry E. Lawrence, father of Mary Tonetti, a prominent New York City merchant who relocated the house to its current site in 1870 and later commissioned architect Cleveland Cady to build "Cliffside" three doors down.
Arcadia became known as the residence of Annie Underhill — affectionately remembered as "Aunt Annie" — and has long been cherished as a gathering place for artists, writers, and creatives. Over its 175+ year history, the home has had only a handful of owners, a testament to its enduring appeal. The name Arcadia evokes an idyllic vision of pastoral beauty and harmony with nature — a fitting description for this extraordinary setting, where the Palisades cliffs gently yield to the Hudson River, just north of the George Washington Bridge.
This unique geographical feature creates one of the few accessible waterfront stretches along this dramatic coastline. Life in Snedens Landing is defined by community and connection to nature. Residents enjoy access to hiking trails, a private tennis association, the Palisades Free Library and Community Center, and "The Triangle," a beloved neighborhood gathering spot for events. The vibrant riverfront village of Piermont — with its restaurants, shops, and marinas — is just minutes away.
With its rare waterfront setting, deep historical roots, and timeless architectural beauty, Arcadia offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a truly special piece of Hudson River history.
