Description
A rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Cornwall history. Just 50 miles north of New York City, this 4 bedroom cedar and stone home, with breathtaking views and sunsets, was built in 1910 by James Jewett Stillman, a prominent financier and one of the most significant figures in Cornwall's storied past. Stillman's influence helped shape the character of the Hudson Highlands, and his family legacy remains deeply woven into the history of Cornwall and nearby Black Rock Forest. Set on 3 lush acres with 30 mile views of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley, the home offers an extraordinary blend of history, privacy, and convenience. A gracious wraparound porch overlooks mature apple trees, gardens, a barn, an in-ground saltwater pool, hot tub, and cold plunge, all while being walkable to the heart of town. Passionately restored, the home beautifully balances turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with modern comfort and function. Custom cherrywood cabinetry, granite countertops, energy-efficient Pella windows and doors, two ovens, two dishwashers, and bedroom-level laundry bring everyday ease to this historic residence. At the same time, original architectural details - including the Dutch front door, Douglas fir floors, nine-foot ceilings, wainscoting, and servants' staircase - preserve the warmth, character, and authenticity of its 1910 origins. A truly special offering, this home is not simply a place to live, but a chance to become part of Cornwall's enduring story.
