Kuća Joshua Martina, lokalno poznata kao Kuća Judy Tomkins, primjer je kasnog kamenog i drvenog doma iz 18. stoljeća koji su njezini sadašnji vlasnici osjetljivo obnovili. Smještena je na brežuljku s sezonskim pogledom na rijeku Hudson, u veličanstvenom i privatnom okruženju. Nekretnina se nalazi u susjedstvu Snedens Landing, povijesnom okrugu, na uskoj, zavojitoj cesti koja je u stara vremena bila namijenjena kolima i konjima, a dio je Palisadesa, NY.

Kuća je spremna za useljenje i ima nevjerojatan, udoban ugođaj i bogatu povijest. Izvrstan je primjer narodnog graditeljstva sagrađenog u Palisadesu tijekom kasnog 18. i ranog 19. stoljeća. Ima ručno obrađene grede, kamin u saveznom stilu u biblioteci i stare široke borove podove.

Kuća ima jednostavan raspored s velikom galerijom/dnevnim boravkom s kaminom i vratima koja vode na kameniti patio i vrt u stražnjem dvorištu. Stara kuhinja s mjestima za jelo, betonskim radnim pločama, staromodnim ormarima, vrlo širokim podovima i stražnjim stubištem, okrenuta prema jugu i zapadu kako bi sunce obasjavalo gotovo cijeli dan. Fantastična biblioteka s ručno obrađenim gredama, širokim podovima, kaminom u saveznom stilu i starim prozorom koji gleda na dvorište. Glavna suite na glavnoj razini s pristupom vrtu i trećim funkcionalnim kaminom, kupaonicom i vlastitom privatnom natkrivenom terasom. Drugi kat nudi dodatne tri spavaće sobe i tri kupaonice.

Joshua Martin sagradio je kuću i živio u njoj oko 60 godina kao i Judy Tomkins. U skladu s tradicijom Snedensa koja ima snažnu povezanost s umjetnošću, postala je druga kuća nekim od najvažnijih figura američke suvremene umjetnosti kada je Tomkins bila vlasnica. Kroz galeriju Leoa Castellija u Manhattanu, gdje je izlagala svoje cijenjene fotografije, sprijateljila se s Jasperom Johnsom i Robertom Rauschenbergom, među ostalima, i tijekom više od četvrt stoljeća okupljali su se na ovoj imovini kako bi proslavili Dan zahvalnosti i Uskrs u svojoj "omiljenoj kući na Hudsonu" s ženama koju su smatrali utjecajnom na velik dio svog života i stila. Judy je bila spisateljica, objavila je nekoliko knjiga, vrlo talentirana fotografkinja koja je izlagala svoje radove na brojnim izložbama, a kasnije u životu doslovno je pomogla promijeniti krajolik Snedens Landing, postavši vodeća dizajnerica krajolika u tom području. Izvanredna žena!

Klipovi Palisadesa, koji se uzdižu visoko uz rijeku Hudson sjeverno od GW mosta, na zapadnoj obali, iznenada se prekidaju, južno od Snedens Landing, i tlo se spušta prema rijeci, što je prvi prekid u moćnim Palisadesima. Snedens Landing nastao je u 1600-im godinama od obitelji Sneden (koja se također udala s obitelji Dobbs), koja je upravljala trajektom preko rijeke do Dobbs Ferryja. 27. gradonačelnik NYC-a, William Merritt, u to vrijeme imao je imanje uz Hudson. Merritt je bio dio obitelji Dobbs, koja je prva upravljala trajektom preko rijeke, što je vjerojatno način na koji je trajekt Snedens Landing prvi put započeo. Radio je do ranih 1940-ih. Postoji 3,000 hektara parkovnog zemljišta dostupnog iz Snedens Landing za pješačenje, hodanje i uživanje.

Kuća Joshua Martina udaljena je nekoliko minuta hoda od rijeke Hudson, teniskog igrališta Snedens Landing, parkova, knjižnice Palisades, Zajedničkog centra Palisades, tržnice, a promet do NYC-a je u pješačkoj udaljenosti. Snedens Landing je samo 25 minuta od Upper West Sidea i 40 minuta od Tribeca. Izgleda i osjeća se kao pitanje okruga, ali je nevjerojatno blizu "gradu".

The Joshua Martin House, locally known as the Judy Tomkins House, is an exemplary late 18th century stone and clapboard home that's been sensitively restored by its current owners. It sits on a knoll with seasonal views of the Hudson River, in a magnificent and private landscape. The property is located in the Snedens Landing neighborhood, a historic district, on a narrow, winding road, that was designed for carts and horses in the old days, and is part of Palisades, NY.
The home is turnkey and has such an amazing, comfortable vibe, and rich provenance. It's an excellent example of the vernacular architecture erected in Palisades during the late 18th, early 19th century. It features hand hewn beams, a Federal style fireplace mantel in the library and old wide board pine floors.
The house features a simple layout with a large gallery/living room with fireplace and doors that lead to the stone patio and garden in the rear yard. An old world eat in kitchen with concrete countertops, old fashion cupboards, super wide board floors and a back staircase, that faces south and west for sunlight almost all day long. An awesome library with hand hewn beams, wide board floors, a Federal style fireplace mantel and an old style window that looks out to the yard. The primary suite on the main level with access to the garden and features the third working fireplace, bath, and its own private screened in porch. The second floor offers an additional three bedrooms and three baths.
Joshua Martin built the house and lived in it for about 60 years as did Judy Tomkins. In keeping with the Snedens tradition of having a strong association with the arts, it became a second home to some of the most important figures of American contemporary art when Tomkins owned it. Through Leo Castelli’s gallery in Manhattan where she exhibited her acclaimed photographs, she befriended Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, among others, and for over a quarter of a century they gathered at this property to celebrate Thanksgiving and Easter in their “favorite house on the Hudson” with a woman they credited with influencing much of their life and style. Judy was a writer, having published several books, a very talented photographer, who exhibited her work in many shows, and later in life she literally helped change the landscape of Snedens Landing, becoming a leading landscape designer in the area. A remarkable woman!
The cliffs of the Palisades which rise high along the Hudson River north of the GW Bridge, on its west bank, suddenly break, just south of Snedens Landing, and the land goes down to the river, which is the first break in the mighty Palisades. Snedens Landing came about in the 1600s by the Snedens Family (who also married with the Dobbs family), who ran the ferry across the river to Dobbs Ferry. The 27th mayor of NYC, William Merritt, owned a property at this time on the Hudson. Merritt was part of the Dobbs family, who first ran the ferry across the river, which is probably how the Snedens Landing ferry first started. It ran until the early 1940s. There are 3,000 acres of parkland accessible from Snedens Landing for hiking, walking and enjoying.
The Joshua Martin House is a short walk to the Hudson River, The Snedens Landing tennis court, parklands, the Palisades Library, the Palisades Community Center, The Market and NYC transportation is within walking distance. Snedens Landing is only 25 minutes from the Upper West side and 40 minutes from Tribeca. It looks and feels like the county but it's amazingly close to "the city".
