High on a wooded bluff with views of the Hudson, this five-bedroom home at 159 Tweed Boulevard in Nyack, New York, will surely get the attention of anyone interested in the area’s iconic mid-century modern offerings. Asking $1,595,000, the home was designed by noted architect Charles P. Winter in 1967. On the market for only the second time since it was built, the home spans 6,581 square feet; its integration of site and structure is a hallmark of modernism. Even more stunning are the views of the Hudson River and the Mario Cuomo Bridge through endless floor-to-ceiling glass.
The architect’s use of materials like wood, stone, and steel anchors the house in its natural setting. Unique architectural features make it timeless.
At the home’s center, a dramatic great room is surrounded by doors that open to outdoor decks. Endless windows bring the surrounding woods and natural light into the daily living experience.
One of the home’s unique features is the cupola at its zenith, offering a dramatic high point from which to view the surrounding panoramic views. Throughout the home, communal and private areas are another distinctive feature, including office spaces, studio space, and a private guest suite.
Bedrooms have the wake-up-in-the-woods quality that makes modern design so refreshing. Similarly, bathrooms are surrounded by views and bathed in light.
Outdoor decks surround the home. In the distance, the river offers a rare and breathtaking way to enjoy the changing seasons.
Additions like a gym and lower-level lounges provide a sense of living in a self-contained village. Unlike many upstate properties, this Nyack home is just a short drive from New York City and only 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge.
