HouseCroton-on-Hudson (United States)

A rare opportunity for Midcentury Modern enthusiasts to own a house designed by renowned Bauhaus Architect Marcel Breuer in 1950. Privately set on a 3/4 acre, in-town parcel in the Village of Croton-on- Hudson, this 2,292 square foot, one-story, 3-bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom residence faces public woodlands through an expansive wall of windows. This architectural gem has been meticulously restored by the current owners. It's exterior features a distinctive butterfly roof, Cypress vertical siding, and steel casement windows, nestled against a rock outcropping. A central entry leads to three bright bedrooms on one wing, and free-flowing living spaces on the other. The living room features a unique locally- quarried stone fireplace, original bluestone floor, and oversized picture window framing the private patio and gardens. The updated kitchen includes stainless-steel cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and all Bosch appliances. The original screened porch was enclosed as an open-plan concept family and dining room, and seamlessly added are a bright mudroom and large home office/studio. A bonus work area is the original one-car garage, which was converted to a 290 square foot finished space and used as a studio (not included in the listed total square footage). Extensive gardens, a fenced organic vegetable garden and stone pathways add to the outdoor appeal. The mature landscaping gives the house privacy, a feeling of seclusion and connection with nature. The house is a brief walk to the Croton Gorge Trail, which leads to Silver Lake, a locally-popular beach on the Croton River, and the in-town location has easy walking access to schools, library, shopping/restaurants and parks. It's a 5-minute drive to the train station, with express trains to Grand Central Station. The Marshad House is not only of architecturally historical significance, but offers the chance to experience a lifestyle celebrating individuality and creativity through the timeless appeal of Breuer's modernist design.
