luxury house with terrace for sale Montgomery, United States

Overlooking the Hudson River in the esteemed hamlet of Balmville, The Rest is a rare and remarkable offering—a Gothic Revival masterpiece and enduring symbol of 19th-century architecture, masterfully adapted for modern living. The Rest was designed as both a living work of art and an inviting home and celebrates the ethos of High Victorian Gothic Revival showcasing soaring tracery ceilings, gasolier-style chandeliers, floor to ceiling doors adorned with wood-framed diamond-patterned glass, and a Tiffany-style stained-glass window at its heart. Rich inlaid and parquet floors, full-height wood wainscoting, and pocket doors feature prominently in the entry hall, drawing room, library, and dining room. Six original marble and wood fireplace mantels anchor the home. Glass-front-built-ins and intimate mullioned bay window seating invite the sharing of secrets. Befitting its name, The Rest is an approachable home, grounded in comfort with expansive views of the Hudson from a bluestone veranda spanning the western facade. A butler's pantry connects the formal dining room with a chef's kitchen featuring granite counters and river views, warm living room with wide wood plank floors, powder room, and access to the heated pool. The second floor offers a primary suite with views of the Hudson and a custom dressing corridor. The spa-like ensuite has a double vanity, quartz counters, bidet, and soaking tub with river views. The second floor is complete with four additional bedrooms and a bonus room, two with river views, and two more full baths. The upper floors are connected by a discreet secondary staircase and anchored by a traditional oculus or 'roof lantern' that beautifully filters daylight down to the floors below. Commissioned in the 1860s by Daniel Bennett St. John— Congressman, Senator, and a founding editor of The New York Times—this estate was brought to life by Frederick Clarke Withers, a leading figure in American Gothic Revival architecture and influenced by Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park.

Set in the heart of Beacon's historic Main Street district, 469 Main Street is a rare 1876 mixed use building reimagined for modern life without ever losing its soul. Fully renovated and lovingly maintained by its current owners, an artists couple, this landmark property offers a flexible live/work configuration that can flow as a single residence above thriving commercial space, or be reconfigured into one, two, or three distinct storefronts to suit an owner's vision. Here, exposure and privacy coexist in perfect balance, with the energy of Main Street foot traffic just steps from the calm of a private patio or rooftop deck retreat, making this an exceptional opportunity for a creative entrepreneur, an owner occupant, or an investor seeking to diversify income streams in one of the Hudson Valley's most sought after towns. Character defines every room. Exposed brick, reclaimed hard pine flooring finished in oil, original cast iron and wood brackets, bluestone counters and thresholds, and a granite hitching post reborn as a bench all speak to the building's nineteenth century roots, while high ceilings, oversized windows, ornamental grates, recessed lighting, and farmhouse style pendants bring a refined, livable warmth throughout. The result is an organic flow from one space to the next, elegant yet unpretentious, polished yet full of soul. The commercial level presents two storefronts full of charm and original detail, a back office with classic Dutch doors, and an ADA accessible bathroom, complemented by the Annex, a versatile addition with accordion doors, polished concrete floors, its own bathroom, and a prep kitchen with cabinetry and a mini fridge, ideal for retail, gallery, studio, or hospitality use. Above, the residence unfolds across three thoughtfully designed levels. The ground floor connects an airy, light filled kitchen to the living room and a private back patio with a majestic Sycamore Maple tree, with a striking black spiral staircase rising to the second floor in addition to the front stairway. There, two bedrooms with generous built in cabinetry sit near a reading nook framed by wide windows and pleated Japanese shades, while a bathroom finished in original reclaimed walls and slate tile leads into a grand studio space, currently used as a painter studio, with the possibility of restoring additional windows for even more light. The third floor offers a rooftop studio suited to quiet retreat, opening onto a cedar wood rooftop deck with sweeping views of the city and Mount Beacon beyond. Every system has been considered with the same care as the finishes. The property offers ADA access across all commercial spaces, three electric meters and one water meter, natural gas furnace heating and central air on the first floor, and mini split heating and cooling for the second floor, third floor, and Annex. Additional infrastructure includes a full sprinkler system, hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detection, fire suppression, and a steel fire door separating the domestic and commercial areas. Outdoors, a solar operated gate opens to a private parking area that doubles easily as a terrace or event space, alongside charming, private back and rooftop patios. A back gate provides access to municipal parking, and a gated private driveway offers additional parking enhanced with planters and benches. Below, a waterproofed basement currently serves as storage and a photography darkroom. A true landmark reborn, 469 Main Street offers an unmatched blend of historic character, livable elegance, and commercial opportunity in the center of Beacon, New York, moments from the region's celebrated art community, galleries, restaurants, and everything this vibrant Hudson Valley city has to offer.

The Conklin House: A Masterpiece of History & Modern Luxury. Experience the perfect blend of early 20th-century charm and 21st-century comfort. A classic 1908 Queen Anne Victorian stands as a commanding presence at the edge of the historic Village of Sugar Loaf. The home has always been used residentially but zoning permits commercial usage as well. Originally ordered from the Sears & Roebuck catalogue and delivered by rail, this "pre-fab" pioneer was famously the first electrified home in the area. The current owner has meticulously performed a full-scale reconstruction, ensuring the home is entirely turn-key while honoring its heritage. The home features modern infrastructure with all-new mechanical systems, walls, and energy-efficient windows. Its preserved character is astounding. Every period molding, the original grand staircase, panel doors and authentic flooring have been salvaged and restored. The architectural heritage is monumental as it features its signature steeply pitched hipped roof and a dominant front-facing gable that defines its Victorian silhouette. Built for Howard Conklin—the local postmaster/general store owner—and later by his son, Dr. Roger Howard Conklin, this residence has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. It represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hudson Valley history without the burden of historic maintenance. The lifestyle in Sugar Loaf and Chester, NY is refreshing, especially to New Yorkers getting away from the city. Nestled in a tight-knit arts and crafts hamlet, one is steps away from 18th-century buildings housing artisan studios, galleries, and boutique eateries. And there is rich Outdoor Adventure to take advantage of too! The area has direct access to the 18-mile Heritage Trail for biking and walking, plus proximity to Goosepond Mountain State Park and the Birnberg Nature Preserve. Its rural serenity offers a quiet, creative lifestyle surrounded by majestic mountains and rolling meadows, all while being part of a bustling weekend destination. Driving to and from the Conklin House to NYC is about 1 hour and 15 minutes and using mass transit a little longer. This is more than a house; it is a storied landmark reimagined for the modern connoisseur. Nothing compares to the character, lifestyle and wilderness that the Conklin House has to offer.
