"GRAND VIEWS ON HUDSON" — Perched above the Hudson River in the coveted enclave of Grand View-on-Hudson, "The Terrace" is a rare 19th century estate where historic grandeur, modern refinement & the very best of Hudson Valley living converge. Set on 1. 4 acres overlooking the river, this iconic property has been extensively restored & reimagined by its current owners, transforming it into a private botanical-like retreat unlike anything else on the market. Originally a sandstone quarry dating back to the 1700s, the property is steeped in history & bordered by the former Erie Rail Trail, now a scenic walking & nature path with direct access from the estate itself. The grounds are extraordinary—lush landscaping, mature specimen plantings, fruit trees, rose gardens, koi pond, winding pathways, expansive lawns for entertaining/recreation & beautifully restored stone walls create the feeling of a secluded garden sanctuary. At the very top of the property, a private plateau reveals breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the Hudson River & horizon beyond. A former hotel in the Gilded Age known as "Limont House, " the approximately 5, 600 SF residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, sandstone walls, dramatic archways, gingerbread trim, wraparound porches, French doors & four wood-burning fireplaces create a setting that feels both elegant & inviting. Nearly every room captures sweeping river views. The grand living room features 10' ceilings, custom built-ins, an antique jade fireplace mantel & double arched doors opening to a sun-filled foyer & river-facing porches. A hidden library offers the perfect retreat for reading or working from home. The walk-out lower level, complete with radiant heat, serves as the heart of the home, anchored by exposed sandstone walls & dual-sided fireplace, flowing seamlessly from formal dining room to the second family room & chef's kitchen with Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances, climate-controlled wine cellar, generous prep space & direct access to outdoor entertaining areas. Upper levels offer up to a total of five bedrooms, a den & multiple renovated baths, all infused with natural light & river vistas. Separate from the main residence is a two-story guest/pool house & gym overlooking the heated gunite saltwater pool & spa. Complete with two rooms, two baths, wet bar & private entrance, the structure also functions as a legal apartment—ideal for guests, extended family, or additional rental income potential. The current owners have invested extensively in both cosmetic & infrastructure improvements, including updated mechanicals, a new roof & extensive exterior enhancements that elevated both the beauty & long-term functionality of the estate. Beyond the gates lies one of the Hudson Valley's most sought-after lifestyles. Downtown Nyack & Piermont are just minutes away, offering acclaimed restaurants, cafes, boutiques, marinas, riverfront parks, galleries & vibrant arts & music scenes. NYC-bound buses can be flagged directly from your doorstep, while Metro North train service is approximately 10 minutes away—making access to Manhattan remarkably convenient. Rich in provenance & atmosphere, "Limont House" once welcomed Gilded Age guests including Diamond Jim Brady & famed actress Lillian Russell, & later was owned by Broadway producer Mary Frank, sister of actor Burgess Meredith. Today, it stands as one of Grand View-on-Hudson's most iconic & unforgettable estates—a property designed for those who appreciate beauty, privacy & the art of entertaining. From elegant dinners overlooking the Hudson River to sunset cocktail parties by the pool, wraparound porch gatherings & celebrations beneath endless horizon views, 91 River Road offers a setting that feels cinematic in every season—where glowing moonrises, sweeping river vistas & extraordinary gardens create an atmosphere as unforgettable as the home itself. . .
