Property Description
A great legacy meets true luxury: Hudson Shore Estate, formerly home to one of Eleanor Roosevelt's early passion projects, a pioneering vocational school for women, has now been masterfully restored to its former glory and offers the perfect setting for a family compound or luxury wellness retreat. A unique example of Arts & Craft design amongst its peer group of renowned Hudson River mansions, the 7,700-square-foot main house has been completely renovated in the past 5 years, and now features a gourmet kitchen, all new high-efficiency systems, and no less than six luxury bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom, plus a remarkable third-floor owners' suite with an enormous spa bath and den. Restored covered balconies and bluestone patios offer a stunning view of the new multi-level heated-pool area with its fully outfitted cabana and kitchen, plus, beyond, the Vanderbilt Mansion and seasonal glimpses of the Hudson River. A walkout basement level features a sauna, half bath, and multiple spa and exercise rooms. Meticulously preserved are all of the original details of the house, including chestnut wainscoting and beams, lozenge-paned casement windows, heart-shaped balustrade carvings, and ceramic tiles made at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, the premier source of Arts & Crafts decoration in America. The main floor's grand Moravian-tiled living room played host in the 1920s to vocational classes for local women when Hilda Worthington Smith, wealthy daughter of the original owner, an inventor of steam-heating systems, founded the Hudson Shore Labor School. Eleanor Roosevelt, a longtime board member and instructor at the school, credited her own experience teaching at the property as inspiration for her future activism as First Lady. The property also includes a separate and fully renovated 2-unit Carriage House building with potential commercial space, including a new ADA-accessible bathroom and kitchen, on the first floor; and, above, a wonderful light-filled 2-bedroom luxury apartment with a cathedral-ceilinged great room. Virtually every square foot of both buildings has been restored or overhauled by some of the most talented contractors and artisans in the region, with the final result being a genuine move-in-ready masterpiece that's only 90 minutes by car from Manhattan and only 5-15 minutes from the charming New Paltz village center, the MetroNorth station in Poughkeepsie, the waterfront Kingston Rondout district, and neighboring wineries and other Hudson River culinary hotspots.
