Description
Set high above the Hudson River on nearly five private acres, 12 Monell Place is one of Beacon's most distinguished historic estates - an extraordinary brick residence where architectural provenance, scale, and setting come together in a way rarely found along the riverfront. Built in 1867, the home carries a rare sense of history, craftsmanship, and permanence that is felt from the moment you arrive. The stately brick facade, dramatic rooflines, and arched entry create a striking first impression. Inside, the home is rich with architectural character, custom detail, and craftsmanship throughout. French doors, parquet wood floors, substantial trim work, detailed moldings, custom hinges, distinctive doorknobs, beautifully framed openings, and chandeliers set beneath ornate ceiling trim all contribute to the home's refined historic character. Large windows invite natural light and frame the Hudson River views, while the river-facing rooms create a constant connection to the surrounding landscape. The main level offers gracious entertaining spaces, flexible living areas, and a layout that allows the home to live comfortably for modern needs while honoring its historic roots. With five bedrooms, multiple baths, and expansive square footage, the residence offers room for hosting, working, relaxing, and creating a true Hudson Valley retreat. Outdoors, the acreage is one of the property's defining luxuries. Nearly five acres on the river in Beacon is an exceptional offering, providing privacy, presence, and a front-row connection to the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. The grounds create a sense of arrival and separation, all while remaining within reach of Beacon's restaurants, galleries, shops, train access, and vibrant Main Street energy. 12 Monell Place is not simply a home - it is a legacy property. Historic, architectural, private, and beautifully positioned above the Hudson, it offers a rare opportunity to own one of Beacon's most memorable estates.
