Description
"THE GABLES" - There are homes that simply exist & there are homes that tell a story. The Gables, a historic Tudor originally built in 1929 by the Johnson family & thoughtfully expanded by noted architect Jo Machinist in 2004, is very much the latter - a place where the past is honored, every beam & stone seems to carry memory & where life unfurls in quiet elegance. Situated in the rarefied hamlet of Sneden's Landing, The Gables offers something singular: a serene retreat just beyond the city's edge, where privacy, artistry & natural beauty converge. Sneden's Landing has long been a sanctuary for those seeking both discretion & inspiration. Nestled along the Hudson River & embraced by forested cliffs, it has drawn painters, writers & performers for generations - its proximity to Manhattan a mere 20+ minutes, yet its spirit a world apart. Here, history lingers... From the nearby Palisades Free Library to the clay courts of the residents-only Sneden's Landing Tennis Association, the hamlet offers a community steeped in tradition. The neighboring river towns of Piermont & Nyack, with their galleries, riverfront cafes & fine dining, extend the charm just minutes away. Stepping inside The Gables feels less like entering a house & more like arriving in a well-worn novel, one written in warm light & timeless texture. Interiors & grounds have been shaped by the nationally recognized design team Tersigni Palachek, whose work lends a lived-in sophistication - an atmosphere akin to slipping into a favorite cashmere sweater. Nearly 3, 000 SF of living space is suffused with natural light, where vaulted ceilings lift the spirit & the hand-laid Rockland brownstone fireplace anchors the heart of the home. Hardwood floors of reclaimed hand hewn heart pine run throughout, carrying a warmth that is both grounding & enduring. The first floor unfolds with grace: a grand yet intimate living room with radiant heat, glowing with sun & anchored by stone; a dining room dressed in Elitis leaf wall coverings & Venetian silk Fortuny pendants; a kitchen where form & function meet at the highest level, complete with marble countertops & an expansive island where conversations over morning coffee happen with ease. High end appliances complete the space. Even the powder room holds artistry, with walls custom painted by Palachek. Three bedrooms crown the second floor, including a primary suite that offers sanctuary: its spa-like bath, with double vanity, soaking tub, radiant heat & impeccable fixtures, promises restorative stillness. Outdoors, the European-inspired gardens unfold like poetry: daffodils, lilacs, peonies, rhododendron, Japanese maple - speak to generations past, drawn from the very soil of Sneden's Landing & its neighboring gardens. Japanese cherry trees bloom in spring with extraordinary grace, while the organic vegetable garden invites a sustainable rhythm of life. Whether an intimate dinner on the terrace or a gathering of a 100 guests beneath the open sky, the grounds invite celebration as naturally as they do solitude. The detached two-car garage, with its finished studio above, offers an ideal escape for guests, artists or the modern remote worker. A 220 EV charger, whole-house generator & updated mechanicals reflect the care & investment that have kept the home impeccably maintained, as turn-key as it is timeless. The lower level provides practicality with a spacious laundry room, while the unfinished attic, currently a home gym, holds promise for future expansion. At The Gables, life balances between refinement & ease, history & modernity, city proximity & country peace. It is a residence for those who seek discretion, artistry & seclusion. Just 12 miles from the GW Bridge, yet enveloped in the privacy of Sneden's Landing, 141 Washington Spring Rd stands ready for its next stewards. Those who will continue its legacy will find themselves woven into the quiet, luminous fabric of this extraordinary home.Show Description
