Property Description

THE LOOKING GLASS - Set high above the river along where the dramatic cliffs of Nyack meet the shimmering expanse of the Hudson River, 893 Route 9W is not simply a home, it is a composition. A study in architecture, landscape & emotion, unfolding in layers with a level of intention rarely seen. Just 30 mins from NYC, moments from the vibrant village, riverfront parks, marinas, acclaimed dining & hiking trails at Hook Mountain State Park, this is Hudson Valley living at its most elevated. Originally conceived in 1969 by renowned architect Charlie Winter, known for designing homes that dissolve the boundary between structure & nature through bold geometry & walls of glass, this residence stands as a masterwork of mid-century design. Over 20+ years, the current owners have undertaken a painstaking, no-expense-spared restoration, honoring the original vision while refining every surface, line & material with precision. The result is cinematic in its presence-sleek, sophisticated & quietly dramatic-evoking a James Bond-style retreat tucked into the landscape. The approach sets the tone. A 2-car garage anchors the arrival, while a striking ascent reveals itself, stonework, cascading waterfall & an impressive bridge entry that transitions you from the everyday into something far more transportive. It is a moment. A pause. Then, the reveal...Inside, the home opens with breathtaking scale & precision. Soaring 12-ft ceilings crown the great room, where walls of glass act like a perpetual mural of the river & the seasons. Natural light floods the interior, casting a warm glow across rich wood tones, custom millwork & curated finishes. Built-ins are not merely functional-they are architectural. From library shelving to seamless integration, every element feels intentional, tailored & timeless. The kitchen level is a masterclass in design & craftsmanship, anchored by custom built-ins, a thoughtfully designed butler's pantry & dedicated workstation. Heated floors span the entire level, while high-end appliances, storage & bespoke cabinetry create a space both functional & visually striking. Entertaining flows effortlessly, indoors & out, supported by multiple terraces & a natural rhythm between spaces. Across 3,400+ SF, the home offers 4 bedrooms, including a remarkable primary suite with custom-designed furniture, built-ins & a private terrace overlooking the grounds & river beyond. A den with its own terrace offers yet another retreat. Two gas fireplaces, heated floors in every bath, power shades, whole-house f
