Steeped in local history and once owned by the Gilded Age Van Cortlandt family, gracious Rose Lodge is an inviting and beautifully restored historic estate—not landmarked—offering modern living and exceptional privacy on 17.9 acres. The property enjoys sweeping views across a perfectly sited in-ground pool, terraced gardens, expansive flat croquet lawn, and private lake, creating a serene country setting less than an hour on the express train from NYC. The main residence features a warm and welcoming checkerbox marble foyer opening to elegant formal rooms, and flowing to a cozy bar and family room overlooking the grounds through walls of windows. A sparkling chef's kitchen, convenient butler's pantry, and finely restored period details make the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, there is extensive accommodation, including a spacious primary suite with elevated views of the private lake, along with three additional bedrooms and multiple baths. A generous home office and dedicated home theater provide exceptional flexibility for work and leisure. The uppermost floor offers two more expansive bedrooms, or flex space for a creative studio.
Beyond the main residence, the estate includes a 5-car garage connected to a stables complex by an elegant breezeway. An additional and completely remodelled 1-bedroom apartment above the stable wing, and a charming separate 2-bedroom stone cottage provide versatility for guests, multigenerational living, or rental/Airbnb income. Landscaped grounds with nature paths, sweeping lawns, and exceptional stonework make this a true retreat. Located in the quaint riverfront community of Ossining, known for its scenic Hudson views, vibrant downtown, and abundant parks and trails, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved and modernized Hudson Valley estate.
