Hudson Harbor – Tarrytown NY
One of the largest developments on the western side of lower Westchester is Hudson Harbor – Tarrytown NY. The complex is beginning its second phase but there are still some units available in phase one for purchase.
Hudson Harbor is located right on the Hudson River against a major portion of the Westchester’s Hudson River Walk -A trail which will ultimately extend the length of the county along the Hudson River when completed. This development is a combination of luxury townhomes as well as condominium flats. Interspersed between the town homes will sit a complete community including shops and dining – creating complete mini-community on the Hudson River. Included in this package is a complete fitness center, a large out door pool both for residents only as well as guest houses for residents who have visitors.
Hudson Harbor – Tarrytown is part and parcel of a massive effort to reclaim the riverside for residential and community use . Public monies including a complete renovation of the train station have been committed and the end result will be a wonderful walkable community on the river – Just steps from Metro-North.
No matter where you look there are spectacular views – Looking south there is the Tappan Zee Bridge and the Manahattan skyline and looking north there is the Kingsland Point and the lighthouse as well as spectacular sunsets on the Hudson River.
The townhouses – resemble the New York City townhouses and remind me a great deal of Georgetown in Washington DC. These are beautifully done with respect to the facades, layouts and amenities. Mixing the modern open floor plan with a strong element of old world charm and attention to detail has been done without the awkwardness that I have seen in other developments.
The condominiums – both phase one and phase two – take their lead from famous Blue Hill restaurant at Stone Barns in nearby Pocantico Hills. The stonework and woodwork on the facade is very very impressive and gives the building a striking appearance seldom found modern condominium complexes.
