"GRAND VIEWS ON HUDSON" — Perched above the Hudson River in the coveted enclave of Grand View-on-Hudson, "The Terrace" is a rare 19th century estate where historic grandeur, modern refinement & the very best of Hudson Valley living converge. Set on 1.4 acres overlooking the river, this iconic property has been extensively restored & reimagined by its current owners, transforming it into a private botanical-like retreat unlike anything else on the market. Originally a sandstone quarry dating back to the 1700s, the property is steeped in history & bordered by the former Erie Rail Trail, now a scenic walking & nature path with direct access from the estate itself. The grounds are extraordinary—lush landscaping, mature specimen plantings, fruit trees, rose gardens, koi pond, winding pathways, expansive lawns for entertaining/recreation & beautifully restored stone walls create the feeling of a secluded garden sanctuary. At the very top of the property, a private plateau reveals breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the Hudson River & horizon beyond. A former hotel in the Gilded Age known as "Limont House," the approximately 5,600 SF residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, sandstone walls, dramatic archways, gingerbread trim, wraparound porches, French doors & four wood-burning fireplaces create a setting that feels both elegant & inviting. Nearly every room captures sweeping river views. The grand living room features 10' ceilings, custom built-ins, an antique jade fireplace mantel & double arched doors opening to a sun-filled foyer & river-facing porches. A hidden library offers the perfect retreat for reading or working from home. The walk-out lower level, complete with radiant heat, serves as the heart of the home, anchored by exposed sandstone walls & dual-sided fireplace, flowing seamlessly from formal dining room to the second family room & chef's kitchen with Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances, climate-controlled wine cellar, generous prep space & direct access to outdoor entertaining areas. Upper levels offer up to a total of five bedrooms, a den & multiple renovated baths, all infused with natural light & river vistas. Separate from the main residence is a two-story guest/pool house & gym overlooking the heated gunite saltwater pool & spa. Complete with two rooms, two baths, wet bar & private entrance, the structure also functions as a legal apartment—ideal for guests, extended family, or additional rental income potential. The current owners have invested extensively in both cosmetic & infrastructure improvements, including updated mechanicals, a new roof & extensive exterior enhancements that elevated both the beauty & long-term functionality of the estate. Beyond the gates lies one of the Hudson Valley's most sought-after lifestyles. Downtown Nyack & Piermont are just minutes away, offering acclaimed restaurants, cafes, boutiques, marinas, riverfront parks, galleries & vibrant arts & music scenes. NYC-bound buses can be flagged directly from your doorstep, while Metro North train service is approximately 10 minutes away—making access to Manhattan remarkably convenient. Rich in provenance & atmosphere, "Limont House" once welcomed Gilded Age guests including Diamond Jim Brady & famed actress Lillian Russell, & later was owned by Broadway producer Mary Frank, sister of actor Burgess Meredith. Today, it stands as one of Grand View-on-Hudson's most iconic & unforgettable estates—a property designed for those who appreciate beauty, privacy & the art of entertaining. From elegant dinners overlooking the Hudson River to sunset cocktail parties by the pool, wraparound porch gatherings & celebrations beneath endless horizon views, 91 River Road offers a setting that feels cinematic in every season—where glowing moonrises, sweeping river vistas & extraordinary gardens create an atmosphere as unforgettable as the home itself...

Limont House is a large, gracious and renovated 19th century colonial with separate guest/pool house, situated on 1.4 acres in a dramatic setting overlooking the Hudson River. Its interior features clean lines and a modern feel. The site was a former sandstone quarry that operated from the 1700s to the mid 1800s, with a walking/jogging/nature trail in the rear - the former Erie Rail trail. This home offers a vibrant waterfront lifestyle with the river across the street and a variety of marinas close by, as well as a village lifestyle, as its only a few minutes from downtown Nyack and Piermont, and the many restaurants, shops and parks they offer. The house is approximately 5,600sf and features oversized rooms, many archways on the main level, sandstone walls, classic stairwell - entry foyer, 2 wrap around porches with river views & French doors for access, and 4 woodburning fireplaces. The living room is very large and offers 10ft ceilings, built in shelving, a beautiful antique jade fireplace mantel and 2 double arched doors that lead to a large & sunny entry foyer. There's even a separate library off the living room's back hall. Both rooms have easy access to the porches too. Upper levels offer 4 bedrooms, den and 2.5 baths. Its lower, walk-out level offers radiant heat throughout and a family room with a empire style fireplace mantel, an awesome open dining room with a spectacular sandstone wall and another wood burning fireplace. There's also a large open kitchen with Miele, Sub-Zero, & Wolf appliances with lots of counter & wine cellar & pantry space. The large dining room with fireplace is open to the kitchen and features doors to wrap around lower level porch. Extraordinary views of the Hudson River from almost every room.

In addition there's a 2-story, 2 room, 2 bath pool or guest house with a wet bar area in the rec room and bedroom w/bath on second floor (w/separate entrance). The property also offers a beautiful gunite, heated pool with separate spa and awesome view of the river. The structures are in pristine condition both inside and out, as almost every mechanical has been replaced, including recent infrastructure replacements for exterior electrical, water lines, rebuilding stone walls, installation of French drains, and a new $40k coral fencing around part of the property - creating a huge yard which is now doggie proof too! The home's exterior is reminiscent of "Folk Victorian" style, primarily seen in the south, and defined by its double tiered porch with Italianate/gingerbread trim & side gambrel roof profile. The homes provenance goes back to the gilded age when it operated as a small hotel/boarding house to America's elite actors and tycoons of the age - Diamond Jim Brady and famed actress Lillian Russell were frequent guests. In later years the home was owned by actor, Burgess Meredith's sister, Mary Frank, a successful Broadway producer who loved to entertain at the property, and the next owner, a popular mystery book author. Limont House is one of Grandview's finest homes. A very special place. Floor plans and survey are available upon request. Additional Information: Amenities:Dressing Area,Guest Quarters,Soaking Tub,
