Details

The Riverhus sits perched on a hill with commanding views over the Hudson, surrounded by a lush landscape of flowers, fruit trees, wild meadows with walking paths around the property, and a spring-fed pond. The house is situated just outside the charming village of Athens, up a long, winding driveway, and nestled in the middle of 27 acres, offering complete privacy. The house and surrounding outbuildings were imagined as a balance between sleek Scandinavian-inspired, open-concept style living, and a more traditional farmhouse aesthetic. The first floor of the main house has an open living, cooking, and dining space with 20-foot ceilings. The kitchen, designed by its first owner, a cookbook author, is equipped with high-quality appliances, custom cabinetry, and an impressive hearth cooking fireplace. This central space is flanked by two generously sized bedrooms on either end, both with full bathrooms and verdant views from every window. French doors lead to a large yet cozy family lounge with a wood-burning fireplace that opens to a deck built by local craftsmen, and the expansive fields beyond. The second floor has a third bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a library/office. The lowest level has a media room, utility area and laundry room with a beautiful salvaged farmhouse sink, a perfect space for a home gym, and plenty of storage. The outbuildings comprise of a guest cottage with electricity and a barn/garage. Walking distance to the quaint hamlet of Athens, The Riverhus is only minutes from the Stewart House, the Athens River Front Park, and the ferry to Hudson. Less than 15 minutes to Hudson and Amtrak and under two hours to New York City.
