Welcome to 215 River Road in Grandview-on-Hudson, a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath 19th-century Victorian with more than 2,700 square feet of living space on nearly an acre of woodland overlooking the Hudson River. Rich in original character and details enhanced by thoughtful updates, the home offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern comfort, and a private setting with year-round Hudson River views, all just 30 minutes from NYC.
The spacious, bright kitchen, updated a few years ago with a soapstone island, is ideal for home chefs and bakers alike. With an open, flow-through design, it includes a six-burner gas range, double oven, a custom marble countertop for pastry and breadmaking, and a built-in breakfast nook encircled by bay windows. French doors lead from the kitchen to an outdoor patio for fine weather meals, one of several entertaining and relaxing spaces that surround this sylvan retreat. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, two of which incorporate bonus rooms that could be used as home offices, a creative studio, gym or nursery. Two full bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub and the other with a newly refinished tiled shower, complete the second-floor footprint.
Dual-zone central air, a system replaced less than five years ago, keeps the home comfortable throughout the summer, while a living room fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere in the colder months. A whole-house, auto-on generator offers peace of mind, and a level two EV charger has been installed in the parking area. The current owners had a direct gas line set up to make outdoor grilling convenient and worry-free. Meticulously maintained, the home’s exterior was painted in 2023, and new drainage and plumbing improvements were completed in the same time frame.
A spacious plateau behind the house offers many lifestyle possibilities, with ample room for a pool, swing set, garden, or an expanded entertaining area. One of the property’s most distinctive features is the sense of calm it offers. The grounds include several quiet places to sit, read, or simply take in the landscape and river beyond. It feels hidden away and peaceful, yet remains connected to the surrounding village. A private path above the house leads directly to the Hader Path, offering a quiet, wooded path for walking, jogging, or cycling to Nyack in one direction and Piermont in the other.
