"THE GABLES" - Postoje domovi koji jednostavno postoje i postoje domovi koji pričaju priču. The Gables, povijesni Tudor prvotno izgrađen 1929. godine od obitelji Johnson i pažljivo proširen od strane poznatog arhitekta Jo Machinista 2004. godine, definitivno spada u drugu kategoriju - mjesto gdje se poštuje prošlost, svaka grede i kamen čini se noseći uspomenu i gdje se život odvija u mirnoj eleganciji. Smješten u rijetkom naselju Sneden's Landing, The Gables nudi nešto jedinstveno: mirno utočište neposredno izvan gradskih granica, gdje se privatnost, umjetnost i prirodna ljepota okupljaju. Sneden's Landing dugo je bio utočište za one koji traže i diskreciju i inspiraciju. Uvučen uz rijeku Hudson i okružen šumovitim liticama, privlači slikare, pisce i izvođače generacijama - njegova blizina Manhattanu samo 20+ minuta, ali njegov duh je potpuno drugačiji. Ovdje povijest traje... Od obližnje Palisades Free Library do teniskih terena koji su samo za stanovnike Sneden's Landing Tennis Association, naselje nudi zajednicu prožetu tradicijom. Susjedni riječni gradovi Piermont i Nyack, sa svojim galerijama, kafićima uz rijeku i finim restoranima, proširuju šarm samo nekoliko minuta dalje. Kada zakoračite unutar The Gables, više je to kao ulazak u dobro poznati roman, napisan u toploj svjetlosti i bezvremenskoj teksturi. Unutrašnjost i okućnica oblikovani su od strane nacionalno priznatog dizajnerskog tima Tersigni Palachek, čiji rad donosi životnu sofisticiranost - atmosferu nalik klizanju u omiljeni kašmerski džemper. Gotovo 3.000 kvadratnih stopa stambenog prostora prožeta je prirodnom svjetlošću, gdje se zidani stropovi podižu duh i kameni kamin od Rockland smešane boje predstavlja srce doma. Parket od recikliranog ručno obrađenog čempresa proteže se kroz cijeli prostor, noseći toplinu koja je i prizemljujuća i trajna. Prvi kat se otvara s grubom elegancijom: grandiozna, ali intimna dnevna soba s radijantnim grijanjem, obasjana suncem i učvršćena kamenom; blagovaonica odjevena u Elitis listne zidne obloge i Venecijanske svilen Fortuny lustere; kuhinja gdje se oblik i funkcija susreću na najvišoj razini, opremljena mramornim radnim pločama i prostranim otokom gdje razgovori uz jutarnju kavu teku s lakoćom. Aparati visoke klase upotpunjuju prostor. Čak i toaletna soba nosi umjetnost, s zidovima prilagođenim bojama od strane Palacheka. Tri spavaće sobe krune drugi kat, uključujući glavnu suite koja nudi utočište: njezina kupaonica nalik spa s dvostrukim umivaonikom, kade za kupanje, radijantnim grijanjem i besprijekornim armaturama, obećava obnavljajuću tišinu. Na otvorenom, europski inspirirani vrtovi razvijaju se poput poezije: narcisi, jorgovani, paeonije, rododendroni, japanska javora - govore generacijama prošlosti, izvučeni iz samog tla Sneden's Landing i njegovih susjednih vrtova. Japanska trešnja cvjeta u proljeće s iznimnom gracijom, dok organski povrtnjak poziva na održiv ritam života. Bilo da je u pitanju intimna večera na terasi ili okupljanje od 100 gostiju pod otvorenim nebom, okućnica poziva na proslavu jednako prirodno kao i na samoću. Odvojena garaža za dva automobila, s dovršenim studijom iznad, nudi idealno utočište za goste, umjetnike ili modernog radnika na daljinu. Punjač za električna vozila od 220, generator za cijelu kuću i ažurirani mehanički sustavi odražavaju brigu i ulaganje koja su kuću održavala besprijekorno uređenom, koliko god bila ključna kao i bezvremenska. Donji kat pruža praktičnost s prostranom praonicom rublja, dok nedovršeni tavanski prostor, trenutno kućna teretana, skriva obećanje za buduće proširenje. U The Gables, život se balansira između rafiniranosti i lakoće, povijesti i modernosti, blizine grada i seoskog mira. To je rezidencija za one koji traže diskreciju, umjetnost i osamu. Samo 12 milja od GW mosta, a opet obavijena privatnošću Sneden's Landing, 141 Washington Spring Rd je spremna za svoje sljedeće čuvare. Oni koji će nastaviti njezinu baštinu pronaći će se utkane u tišinu, svjetlucavu tkaninu ovog izvanrednog doma.

"THE GABLES" - There are homes that simply exist & there are homes that tell a story. The Gables, a historic Tudor originally built in 1929 by the Johnson family & thoughtfully expanded by noted architect Jo Machinist in 2004, is very much the latter - a place where the past is honored, every beam & stone seems to carry memory & where life unfurls in quiet elegance. Situated in the rarefied hamlet of Sneden's Landing, The Gables offers something singular: a serene retreat just beyond the city's edge, where privacy, artistry & natural beauty converge. Sneden's Landing has long been a sanctuary for those seeking both discretion & inspiration. Nestled along the Hudson River & embraced by forested cliffs, it has drawn painters, writers & performers for generations - its proximity to Manhattan a mere 20+ minutes, yet its spirit a world apart. Here, history lingers... From the nearby Palisades Free Library to the clay courts of the residents-only Sneden's Landing Tennis Association, the hamlet offers a community steeped in tradition. The neighboring river towns of Piermont & Nyack, with their galleries, riverfront cafes & fine dining, extend the charm just minutes away. Stepping inside The Gables feels less like entering a house & more like arriving in a well-worn novel, one written in warm light & timeless texture. Interiors & grounds have been shaped by the nationally recognized design team Tersigni Palachek, whose work lends a lived-in sophistication - an atmosphere akin to slipping into a favorite cashmere sweater. Nearly 3,000 SF of living space is suffused with natural light, where vaulted ceilings lift the spirit & the hand-laid Rockland brownstone fireplace anchors the heart of the home. Hardwood floors of reclaimed hand hewn heart pine run throughout, carrying a warmth that is both grounding & enduring. The first floor unfolds with grace: a grand yet intimate living room with radiant heat, glowing with sun & anchored by stone; a dining room dressed in Elitis leaf wall coverings & Venetian silk Fortuny pendants; a kitchen where form & function meet at the highest level, complete with marble countertops & an expansive island where conversations over morning coffee happen with ease. High end appliances complete the space. Even the powder room holds artistry, with walls custom painted by Palachek. Three bedrooms crown the second floor, including a primary suite that offers sanctuary: its spa-like bath, with double vanity, soaking tub, radiant heat & impeccable fixtures, promises restorative stillness. Outdoors, the European-inspired gardens unfold like poetry: daffodils, lilacs, peonies, rhododendron, Japanese maple - speak to generations past, drawn from the very soil of Sneden's Landing & its neighboring gardens. Japanese cherry trees bloom in spring with extraordinary grace, while the organic vegetable garden invites a sustainable rhythm of life. Whether an intimate dinner on the terrace or a gathering of a 100 guests beneath the open sky, the grounds invite celebration as naturally as they do solitude. The detached two-car garage, with its finished studio above, offers an ideal escape for guests, artists or the modern remote worker. A 220 EV charger, whole-house generator & updated mechanicals reflect the care & investment that have kept the home impeccably maintained, as turn-key as it is timeless. The lower level provides practicality with a spacious laundry room, while the unfinished attic, currently a home gym, holds promise for future expansion. At The Gables, life balances between refinement & ease, history & modernity, city proximity & country peace. It is a residence for those who seek discretion, artistry & seclusion. Just 12 miles from the GW Bridge, yet enveloped in the privacy of Sneden's Landing, 141 Washington Spring Rd stands ready for its next stewards. Those who will continue its legacy will find themselves woven into the quiet, luminous fabric of this extraordinary home. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
