12 Clinton Ave

"VERSAILLES IN NYACK" - For the most discerning real estate connoisseurs, welcome to 12 Clinton Avenue, Nyack, NY; a rare gem nestled directly on the majestic Hudson River with water access, located a mere 35 minutes from NYC, on a quiet dead-end street. This exquisite historic home, originally built in 1891 as a Manhattan businessman's weekend retreat, has been meticulously reimagined and painstakingly rebuilt from the foundation up, preserving only the external shell, into a luxurious haven of epic proportions. With no expense spared or detail overlooked, the multi-million dollar renovation took 2 years to complete by the current owner, a renowned Global Executive, drawing inspiration from his life and work in 8 different countries, most notably the many years spent in Paris. The result is a residence that harmonizes historic charm with every imaginable modern amenity. This exceptional property is a testament to timeless elegance and technological innovation, offering a unique opportunity to own one of the five oldest homes in Nyack. The scrupulous re-build offers the peace of mind of a new construction, ensuring she stands as a beacon of architectural beauty lining the Hudson River for generations to come. Every facet has been thoughtfully curated to provide an unparalleled living experience, capturing striking river views from literally every room. With only 3 previous owners in the past 130 years, including a famous musician and Jazz drummer, it's no surprise each steward relished in over 40 years of ownership. The striking entry with 24' ceilings and French style moldings is a showstopper, leading into two living rooms and formal dining room, all offering 270 degree aquatic views of the river, sailboats and Mario Cuomo bridge. From the new steel reinforced structure, handmade custom bricks, state of the art HRV system, intricate ceilings, eight wood variety floor entry medallion, to the handmade white marble fireplace mantle, not a single stone was left unturned. Everything about the design is calculated and intentional to promote a rejuvenating lifestyle, whether it's the sunrise over the river hitting your eyes in the primary bath spa suite for your morning routine, or preparing for you outdoor garden party of 150 guests under the moonrise, 12 Clinton Ave is truly an entertainer's paradise. Between the Chef's culinary kitchen with every Wolf, Sub Zero and Bosch appliance available, and the outdoor kitchen complete with Alfresco grill and pizza oven/prep station, your guests might be overextending their welcome. Every window throughout the home acts as a perpetual mural that changes by the season, whether your gaze is focused on the glisten of the Hudson River, or your private gardens of Versailles. The timed French gardens and landscaping alone fetched over $500K, creating supreme privacy, truly a horticulturist's dream. We can go on about the details for days, which are highlighted in the listing documents. With 5,900 SF of living space, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the primary suite of nearly 1,000 SF has an office, large dressing room and private balcony. The primary bath spa exhibits a soaking tub with river views, steam shower, gas marble fireplace and Toto Neorest smart toilets throughout. The additional 3 bedrooms are all ensuite and situated away from the primary for privacy. The 800 SF three car heated garage is a car collector's dream and is a showroom in itself, with wifi controlled lifts for bikes, kayaks, toys and tools. The finished basement has a fully equipped gym to maintain the active Nyack lifestyle the boutique river town village is known for. And before you ask, the property was thoughtfully considered to easily accommodate an infinity pool and the 4,000 SF permeable driveway allows for building a future pool cabana as well. As the old saying goes, "seeing is believing," so we invite the most sophisticated palate for a private tour of "Versailles in Nyack" today.
