Property Description

Built in 1875 and reimagined in 2023, this extraordinary estate blends timeless history with modern elegance. Once the postmaster's residence, it now presides over 5.02 acres along the coveted East River, with 184+feet of shoreline, deep-water draft, and private pier. Raised 40 inches on a new foundation, the home was enhanced with two covered waterside porches, perfect for savoring panoramic river views. A welcoming entry porch ushers guests into the home with a refined sitting room,one of six spaces graced with gas fireplaces. Detailed wainscoting and moldings highlight the craftsmanship of a complete renovation that included all-new systems, porcelain-tiled baths, and custom finishes. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen impresses with custom cabinetry, expansive quartz countertops, and a grand island with seating for five. Premium appliances include a 48-inch Bertazzoni six-burner cooktop w/griddle, KitchenAid double ovens, two Fisher Paykel dishwashers, and authentic brick flooring. A dining area for eight plus the eat-in island make this an ideal space for entertaining. Completing the main level are two sitting rooms - one opening to the covered porch with sweeping river vistas - a pocket powder room, and a flex room that can serve as a study or bedroom. Upstairs, there are two guest bedrooms and a stylish guest bath. The Primary suite and one of the guest rooms enjoy direct access to the second-floor porch. A rare blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and waterfront luxury, this property is more than a home—it is an enduring lifestyle.
