One of Grandview's most iconic homes, Alahambra-On-Hudson. First time on the market in over 60 years. This late 1800s folk style Victorian home features a sandy beach on the river, and a huge flat, rear and side yard with much privacy, specimen plantings/trees and a seawall. This period home offers gingerbread trim on its exterior and classic features inside. Feel the tranquility and elegance the minute you step inside. Its double door entry with period etched glass doors, 2 fireplaces, beautiful Douglas fir floors - overall in great shape, panel doors, original wavy glass windows, floor to ceiling windows and bay windows, all give the home its unique character and personality. There are two large verandas off the back of the house facing the Hudson, and more. One can easily walk to the old rail trail that runs over 10 miles, just a few doors away off Station Lane. This home started out as a summer residence in the 1850s for the Briggs family, and was expanded along the way and used as a boarding house during the 1900s. Alahambra features 3 levels of living space with full size windows and doors and a finished attic level with wainscotting and plumbing; and a walk out cellar with access to the river. The property features two lots; on the riverside find lot #172, which was a double lot years ago, and with variances could possibly be sub-divided again. The separate lot directly across the street is #165, featuring an old carriage house used as a 3 to 4 car garage. This lot is .24 of an acre. The village of Grandview permits lots .25 acres or more to be a building lot for a home. With a variance, this could perhaps be a separate building lot as well. Alahambra-On-Hudson, has always attracted attention because of its beautiful architecture and Hudson River front setting. Two paintings of the home will go to the new owner along with a old detailed photograph of the front door/porch. Electrical has been updated to 200 amp, a new, efficient boiler was installed not too long ago and roofs replaced. The home has endless opportunities! Villages of Piermont and Nyack are close by. With permission of the Army Corp, one could possibly build a dock and more. Find your one of one! Alahambra-On-Hudson!
