Who knew that you could find a little piece of country heaven, minutes, yes minutes, from the hustle and bustle of New York City?
Just a 15 minute ride up the delightful Palisades Interstate Parkway to Junction 4 (the first after traversing the north eastern corner of NJ,) you will find the picturesque Route 9W leading you into New York's best kept secret, the tiny county of Rockland. You will travel past the Columbia Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Campus where you can take the left onto Oak Tree Rd to take you to the charming, historic village of Tappan, or keep on going until you reach the hamlet of Upper Grandview. We have many listings in the area but the two we are focusing on today are more affordable than most in this sought after area of million dollar waterfront condo's and mansions along the mighty Hudson River.
Let's take you to our first stop, Tappan, where you will find a cobble-stoned main street with gas lamps,
Steeped in a rich history, where Washington built his headquarters, and the nations first pub was established The 76 House, you will find an adorable riverfront cottage 49 Kings Highway.
A dream of an opportunity to capitalize on another's misfortune, as sadly this pretty property is now a short sale. There's not many homes available in this area at this price and caliber.
If a short sale, doesn't set you alight with desire, then check out our other adorable cottage in Upper Grandview. 988 Rte 9W, is one of those opportunities which only come around once in a while. Boasting spectacular views of the Tappan Zee Bridge and Hudson River from it's Palisades aerie, is this wonderful 2/4 bedroom cottage, with fireplace and newly renovated kitchen. Hidden high above the busy 9W at the top of a leafy lane of eclectic homes, you will surely delight in the property, cottage and all the possibilities for expansion that it offers. If you are looking for a weekend escape, then it's perfect as it is, situated equidistant between the rivertown villages of Piermont and Nyack, with the Erie railroad trail just across the road leading to both.
You will love the rocking chair porch or large bay window offering this stupendous view at a price that can't be beat!
