Built into the mountain of Harriman State Park in the early 1900s, this historic home tells a love story between the builder and his wife. His diary, written with the same perfection and care that he poured into the building of this home, details the 20 years he spent constructing it. The result is a perfect blend of the Victorian and Arts and Crafts eras. From the wrap-around porch and turret that spans all four stories, to the extensive woodwork and detail that distinguishes this epic home. It is an architectural marvel allowing for the natural seasonal expansion of the mountain from which it was carved. Period details abound including custom leaded-glass pocket doors, thick fieldstone walls, a whimsical turret, cozy fireplaces, window seats, and bricks from the old Nyack hospital used to build the front porch. With 10-foot ceilings and a plethora of windows, you can enjoy spectacular views and an easy indoor/outdoor lifestyle. This 6+ bed, 3.5 bath home offers nearly 5,000 sq ft of living space including a full, walk-up attic and finished basement. The patio and rooftop deck on the western side of the home offer picturesque mountain views of sunsets and starry nights amid curated gardens. The east-facing Juliet balcony allows for breathtaking sunrises. Strategically positioned atop the hill of Rockledge Gardens, the house sits on a dead-end private 1.75-acre lot with no through traffic, offering sublime privacy and a wondrous, peaceful setting abutting Harriman state park. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and artistic lighting. Hardwood floors and staircases are original and recent updates include a new boiler and 75 gal water heater 2025, exterior wood siding and paint 2022, and appliances 2020-22. The warmth of the home shines with each carefully designed living space and sun drenched room. The outdoor space offers the luxury of an inground saltwater heated pool with spa and waterfall, multiple outdoor terraces, a level lawn, and the impressive and unspoiled surroundings of nature. The walkout basement, with thick fieldstone walls, a wet bar, and huge wood burning fireplace offers rustic charm and is another fabulous gathering space with two private entrances allowing access from either the driveway, or nearer the pool for entertaining ease. Village life and commuting options are a dream as the home is located close to all downtown Suffern has to offer such as quaint shops, fabulous restaurants, and public transportation. NJ Transit is less than a mile away offering an express train to Penn Station in under an hour.
