Stonecrest on the Hudson is a stunningly designed residence on 6.5 acres of inspiring landscaping, offering expansive river and Catskill Mountain views. A creation of stone, metal, and glass, the home, while imposing, inhabits its setting with impeccable grace and is curated for comfort and meditative living. Numerous exquisite features make Stonecrest unique, impossible to duplicate. As visitors approach, they note the striking geometric roof lines and grand porte-cochere.
Inside, the home is open to light and nature through windows and soaring walls of glass. In the main living room, 40-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and curved arches above doors and windows make entering Stonecrest a breathtaking experience. At the same time, there are many private spaces for quiet contemplation and reflection that balance the grandeur of this remarkable home. In the south wing, there is a chef's kitchen with a butler's pantry and a formal dining room that opens onto a blue slate terrace.
High-end appliances, polished granite countertops, and double sinks and dishwashers ensure that anything can happen in this room, from an afternoon snack to a formal dinner for 30. The butler's pantry has a second Sub-Zero refrigerator, a wine cooler, and a sink. Also on this side of the house is an all-season living room and a service room with its own covered porte-cochere for deliveries and access to the 3-car garage.
At the north end of the house, there is a hallway art gallery, a private deck, a guest bedroom with en-suite, and, best of all, a hidden library awaiting behind a secret door, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, access to a private blue slate patio, and river views. The second floor can be reached by one of two open, graceful staircases. A wide catwalk that overlooks the main living room extends the entire length of this second level.
At one end is the primary suite, which includes a private deck, a walk-in closet with access to separate dressing rooms and makeup space, and a spacious bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and glass-enclosed shower. On the south side of the second floor, there are two more en-suite bedrooms, a media room, and access to an apartment annex with an open-concept kitchen and living room, bedroom, and full bath. Perfect for staff or guests, this cozy space can be accessed by the back staircase for added privacy.
On the lowest floor, a walk-out basement, a huge space for creative pursuits, has easy access from inside or outside the home. Large windows, a surround sound system, and ample storage make this area versatile and convenient. Also on this level is a media room and a second laundry/utility room. This property as it exists today cannot be recreated.
For example, directly over the Hudson River, there is a resort-style saltwater pool with a stone pool house that includes a full kitchen and entertaining space. Current zoning laws do not allow for this type of design today. Countless stunning jewels throughout the property include a reflection pool with a fire pit and river views, an amphitheater facing the Hudson, a quarter-mile spiral maze with stone paths divided by wild thyme, and a koi pond with a waterfall.
Seating areas dot the edge of the property above the river, where spending hours watching ships pass becomes a tranquil act of meditation. While the home is a short distance from charming Hudson Valley towns like Rhinebeck, and a minute's drive to the Rhinecliff Amtrak station, Stonecrest on the Hudson is as private and lost in time as an enchanted kingdom.
