Property Description
The Periwinkle House - River Views, History, and Soul. Set high above a lush, mature garden with sweeping views of the Hudson River and the bridge, The Periwinkle House is a one of-a-kind Greek Revival jewel - gracious, elegant, and with a great story. What began as a three-room cottage in 1794 grew over two centuries into the 5,016-square foot home standing today - a rare blend of old world craftsmanship and modern soulful luxury. Symmetry and charm define its facade while inside, original architectural details shine: intricate moldings, French doors, soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, cozy window seats, five wood-burning fireplaces, and beautiful wide-plank hardwood floors. The Chef's Kitchen is anchored by the legendary Aga stove, soapstone counters, and a butler's pantry, leading to a sun-splashed breakfast room with French doors which open onto the veranda and broad wraparound porch - perfect for slow mornings or lively summer nights. The formal dining room sets the stage for large gatherings or intimate evenings, and is complete with a built-in bar and a woodburning fireplace. The primary suite is pure serenity with panoramic river views, a huge woodburning fireplace, built-in window seats, a walk-in dressing room with laundry, and a Waterworks spa bath with soaking tub and glass shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms and another Waterworks bath complete the second floor. Upstairs, the third floor surprises with two more bedrooms, full bath, and a media lounge that opens onto a private terrace overlooking the back gardens. Out back, a heated gunite pool and spa are tucked into a fully fenced yard - your own private resort. A four-car garage plus a heated workshop adds flexibility for creatives or collectors, and the U-shaped driveway makes parking and entertaining effortless. Just 25 miles to midtown Manhattan and five minutes to Piermont's riverfront restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, the Periwinkle House balances history, luxury, and lifestyle in a way few homes ever do. This special home is a bridge between centuries. Award winning South Orangetown Schools . The new walking path behind the house links to the Old Erie Esposito Path .
