From the outside, it reads as disciplined and architectural. Clean volumes, smooth wood clad planes, a composition that recedes into the landscape.Inside, it does something entirely different.The Langridge opens into a sequence of spaces that are expressive, layered, and intentionally unconventional. Color, pattern, and form are used with confidence. There is a point of view here. Not minimal, not neutral, not trying to fit in.The main living space anchors the home with 25 foot ceilings and a scale that allows the interiors to fully play out. Light moves across the room throughout the day, catching different textures and surfaces, shifting the experience from morning to evening. A fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling zellige tile facade adds warmth and contrast against the polished concrete floors (radiant heated of course). The layout includes three bedrooms and three baths, all ensuite, along with a separate guest apartment that creates real flexibility for hosting, work-from-home or extended stays. A lofted upper level overlooks the great room and can function as additional guest space, a studio or home office.The entry sequence moves through a sheltered courtyard, where the architecture begins to open up and hint at what is happening inside. A four car garage is fully integrated into the structure, keeping the exterior composition clean and uninterrupted.Out back, the home transitions to a stone terrace and inground, heated gunite pool with integrated hot tub, set within a protected space carved into the woods, and connecting you to the surrounding forest. It is a private, contained environment designed for long days outside.What makes this property compelling is the contrast. The exterior is calm and controlled. The interior is expressive and individual. For the right person, that tension is exactly the appeal. The Langridge offers something far more specific than a neutral new build. It offers identity.Set in Tivoli, with easy access to the best of the Hudson Valley, but positioned off the beaten path to feel distinctly its own.

Set just steps from the center of Tivoli, 16–18 Broadway is a rare village compound comprising two complete residences, a heated saltwater pool and a remarkable level of craftsmanship throughout. It offers something particularly unusual for one of the Hudson Valley’s most charming small villages: the flexibility and privacy of a country property, with the restaurants, shops and everyday life of Tivoli just outside the door. The 2,170-square-foot main house offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths and has been thoughtfully renovated by a master carpenter, whose work can be felt throughout. Handmade wood windows, beautifully executed plaster walls and ceilings, wide-plank floors and original details give the interiors a quiet, elemental quality. The renovation is restrained, preserving the age and character of the house while introducing a new kitchen and baths and thoughtfully updated systems. Rooms are simple, warm and filled with natural light, with old wood, softly textured plaster and carefully chosen contemporary details sitting comfortably alongside one another. There is a sense that very little here was done simply for effect; instead, the beauty comes from the materials, craftsmanship and the wonderfully imperfect character of an antique Hudson Valley house. The 1,976-square-foot barn is a fully realized second residence, with two bedrooms and two full baths, rather than simply an ancillary guest space. With its own full kitchen—including a gorgeous statement range—and a bathroom finished in Italian Bisazza tile, it functions independently from the main house. The arrangement opens up countless possibilities: extended family or guests, separate work and living spaces, or simply two households sharing one exceptional property without sacrificing privacy. Outside, a heated gunite saltwater pool creates a private retreat within the property, while solar panels are thoughtfully positioned along the south side of the barn. What makes 16–18 Broadway particularly compelling is the combination: two complete and beautifully considered residences, a pool and substantial outdoor space, all within a few steps of the charming village of Tivoli. Small, lively and deeply charming, the village has long been one of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved destinations. Here, the pleasures of village life and the space and flexibility of a country compound exist side by side.

Only two miles from Warren Street, yet 188 Mt. Merino Road feels a world away. Set across 5.7 private acres overlooking the Hudson River, the property is an extraordinary convergence of open lawn, wildflower fields, mature trees and woodland, a peaceful, transporting landscape of sweeping water views, remarkable sunsets and true immersion in nature. The house itself has an entirely different kind of magic: it is immediately welcoming. Beautifully renovated, filled with natural light and designed to take full advantage of its surroundings, it is the kind of place you walk into and simply want to stay. Stylish and beautifully considered without ever feeling overly formal, it is equally suited to a quiet weekend at home or a house full of family and friends. Expansive sliding glass doors frame the Hudson and the ever-changing landscape beyond, opening the main living spaces directly onto a generous deck and allowing indoors and out to flow effortlessly together. Morning coffee overlooking the water, long lunches outside, sunset dinners with friends and evenings gathered around the wood-burning fireplace give the house an easy rhythm through every season. Open living and dining areas are generous and connected, yet quiet space is easy to find when wanted. Central air, an attached garage and both indoor and outdoor showers add to the ease of country living. Outside, the landscape becomes an essential part of daily life. Approximately two acres are discreetly fenced, while beyond, the property unfolds through open lawn and wildflower fields into beautiful mature trees and woodland. The Hudson, distant landscape and enormous changing sky are ever present, creating a sense of space and seclusion that feels almost impossible this close to Hudson. Set privately within the grounds, the oversized gunite pool is one of the property's great treasures. Mature wisteria cascades over the pergola beside it, creating a lush outdoor room for shaded lunches, reading, cocktails or escaping the afternoon sun. Surrounded by greenery and wonderfully removed from view, the pool feels like a destination of its own. A beautifully finished separate studio adds another dimension. Cozy and exceptionally well done, with sleeping accommodations, a full bath and its own split-system heating and cooling, it offers wonderful flexibility as a private guest retreat, home office or creative studio. Entertaining comes naturally here. Doors open to the deck, guests move easily between house, lawn and pool, and the landscape does much of the work. Yet for all its ability to accommodate a gathering, the property never loses its intimacy. There are places to disappear with a book, work quietly from the studio, swim surrounded by trees, wander through the wildflowers or simply sit and watch the light change over the river. The scale of the 5.7-acre parcel may also offer intriguing possibilities for additional building or future improvements, subject to independent confirmation with the appropriate municipal authorities, counsel and other professionals. And then there is Hudson. Warren Street's restaurants, galleries, shops, farmers market and cultural life are approximately five minutes away, along with Amtrak service to New York City. It is this proximity that makes the setting so unexpected: within minutes of leaving Hudson, the road falls away and you arrive home to woods, water, wildflowers, privacy and sky. 188 Mt. Merino Road is that rare combination, a house that makes you want to stay and a landscape that makes you feel as though you've gone somewhere entirely different. Nearly six private acres, sweeping Hudson River views, extraordinary sunsets, a beautifully turn key home, separate studio, spectacular pool and exceptional outdoor living come together just minutes from the heart of Hudson.
