Set in the heart of the river village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, this stately Colonial offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of the Hudson Valley lifestyle. One Taft Place is just moments from the village center with its restaurants, cafes, galleries, boutique shops, and scenic parks along the Hudson River. Its prime location gives easy access to the greater Hudson Valley's wide array of celebrated amenities. With its brick facade, elegant, curved center hall staircase, and classic architectural lines, the home has a stately presence. Built in 1973 by its then original builder-owner, it offers voluminous living space across four levels, from the finished lower level to the top-floor "observatory", creating a spacious and versatile layout suited for both everyday living, entertaining and extensive options for work-from-home with a view! On the main level, the formal living and dining rooms with bay windows are bathed in south-easterly light. There's a natural, easy flow with a welcoming family room with built-ins, and a den with wet bar. The eat-in kitchen opens to a multi-level rear deck surrounded by mature trees and mostly level back yard. Here too, a main-level suite with full bath is ideal for home office use. The home offers a true four-bedroom layout and flows graciously throughout. The primary suite is large and offers great privacy, twin closets and dual showers! The third-floor observatory provides a unique and inspiring setting for work or relaxation, featuring a seasonal view of the Hudson River. The finished lower level includes recreation and workspace areas with walk-out access. Additional features include a two-car, attached garage (with new door), and ample driveway / off-street parking. Ideally positioned to enjoy the surrounding Hudson Valley landscape, the location is near to hiking at Storm King Mountain and Black Rock Forest, as well as the iconic Route 218, a renowned scenic drive winding along the mountains above the Hudson River. The United States Military Academy is just minutes away. Offering exceptional location, scale, flexibility, and forward potential, this is an opportunity to enjoy immediately or to thoughtfully update with a contemporary aesthetic. A classic colonial not to be missed, all within one of the Hudson Valley’s most desirable and idyllic settings.
