32 Laveta Place

Description

A rare and romantic 19th-century vernacular treasure—offers privacy, history, and sweeping views of the Hudson River. Set behind a fenced approach with an electronic gate and framed by original stone piers, this distinctive property unfolds into a serene, garden-filled retreat. Two structures anchor the grounds, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of winding pathways, lush planting beds, and curated flora that create both beauty and seclusion. The main residence—once the stable—spans two stories and is rich in character. At its center is an intimate great room featuring terra cotta-style floors, a brick fireplace, and multiple French doors that invite in natural light and garden views—truly the heart of the home. A spacious eat-in kitchen opens to a deck overlooking the river, with a spiral staircase leading to a rooftop deck—an exceptional vantage point for enjoying the Hudson’s changing light and seasons. The first floor also includes a flexible bedroom or den and a full bath. Upstairs, three additional rooms and two baths provide comfortable accommodations. The detached two-car garage features a finished upper level complete with a studio and full bath, ideal for guests, creative space, or a home office. Located just moments from the vibrant village of Nyack, nearby parks, and riverfront access, the home is also steeped in artistic legacy. Renowned painter Edward Hopper grew up just around the corner, and his iconic work The Lee Shore is said to be inspired by a nearby riverside home. A truly special offering—timeless, evocative, and unlike anything else. Nothing compares to Gurnee’s Stable.
