Perched high on a hill, presiding over a rolling green expanse to the mighty Hudson River below, sits a grand and exquisite Greek revival home known as Aberdeen. Built in 1828 in West Park, a hamlet of Esopus NY, Aberdeen sits amongst many glorious, historic river front homes built by some of America's most notable families. Considered to be Ulster Counties most impressive Greek Revival house, every original detail of this architectural beauty has been carefully restored and respected, while being elegantly updated with luxurious custom fixtures and materials of the highest quality, all referencing the homes rich history. As impressive as the interior of this 6 bedroom, 4. 5 bathroom home is-the experience of stepping out onto the rear portico with its two storied fluted ionic colonnade- taking in the river views and the Vanderbilt Mansion perfectly framed out across the water, is simply breathtaking. There are 9 private acres in total, comprised of handsome stone terraces with stairs down to rolling lawn, open fields and wooded areas, all leading to the waterfront with over 400 feet of rare private river access. Upon entering the home one is struck by the grand proportions of the rooms, the remarkable refinement of the original details that have impressed for hundreds of years and the lovely light throughout. To the right is a double parlor, featuring lovingly restored cast plaster crown moldings, and 2 of the 9 working fireplaces in the home- four of them outfitted with gas. To the left is the exceptional formal dining room with working fireplace and a door to the winding back stair leads from the attic level down to the beautifully restored basement with a discrete laundry room and a romantic wine cellar and tasting room. The enormous eat-in kitchen wing of the home is accessed via a handsome butler's pantry with exposed beams, custom cabinetry and a wood fired oven built into the wall. The chef's kitchen is a wonderful mix of rustic original elements, contrasting with high end modern appliances, luxurious marble counter tops, custom cabinetry and two sinks. French doors open onto a covered porch and bluestone terrace beyond. A serene study lined with book shelves and a curved formal central stair that winds its way to the second floor complete the ground level. Upstairs, four bedrooms are accessed via a wide central gallery that extends from the front of the house to the back. Just as it does on the first floor, the Hudson River features prominently and comes in and out of view as one passes from room to room. An amply sized primary bedroom suite sets a luxurious tone with a gas fireplace and quietly opulent bath en-suite featuring gorgeous floor to ceiling tile work, claw foot tub, massive overhead rain shower and a gorgeous double marble sink with handsome brass fixtures throughout. There are three other beautifully appointed bedrooms in this central portion of the house which share another similarly appointed bathroom, with direct access to one of the bedrooms. A fifth bedroom and en-suite bathroom is tucked away quietly at the end of the second story wing and accessed through a cozy upstairs den. The guesthouse is situated opposite the kitchen terrace- accessed via a charming planted parterre-and is comprised of a cathedral ceilinged living room with substantial stone fireplace at one end, a wall of floor to ceiling windows looking out to the river, a full bathroom, and another oversized space boasts a kitchenette and walls of glass. . Additionally the property boasts a separate two car garage and adjoining room intended for use as a home gym. All of the systems of the main house and out buildings are either new or have been upgraded to the highest standards with central AC and all modern conveniences throughout. There are also opportunities to build a boat house and dock or even another waterfront home, creating a true family compound. Aberdeen is situated in the heart of the historic Hudson Valley nestled among the Catskill Mountains. Just 15 minutes to the north is the heart of historic Kingston with fine dining, shopping and a multitude of points of interest. Fifteen minutes to the south are both the Amtrak and metro North trains out of Poughkeepsie for easy access to New York City. Still, with all of the luxury, comfort and serenity that this home and grounds provide, you may be tempted to simply stay put and wander down to your private beach where you can kayak, canoe or just revel in the beaut
