122 Belvedere Rd, Beacon, NY 12508

The Villa Belvedere, a graceful estate home, sits high in Beacon Hills, has beautiful views of the Mountains, surrounded by privacy. Built by Filippo Ghignatti in 1935, the English Horn player for Arturo Tuscanini's New York Philharmonic Symphony. Filippo Ghignatti's imprint still shows, from hidden treasures, to the many gardens along the grounds. The huge Estate of the Villa Belvedere, has long since been divided, the lands sold, the guest houses now neighbors' homes. The Villa sits on 1.80 Acre of the original lands, abutting State owned land, never to be developed. A Grand Entrance marked by Stone Pillars, Austrian Pine Trees line the property's edge. A circle driveway curves around the front courtyard, to the back of the house, to parking, gardens & garages, then returns to the front. This 3 Bdrm & 2 1/2 bath home features Beautiful Hardwood Floors. Old Fashioned Character abounds; brightly lit windows, wainscotting, quaint woodwork and beautiful molding throughout the home. Entering through the back, into the mudroom, is a 1/2 bath off the large kitchen with a lovely dining area, with windows over looking the front courtyard. The living room is full of windows and has two glass doors that lead to the great outdoors; opening fully to expand living space onto the wrap around Deck and a 6-person Hot Tub. The grounds offer peace and quiet, privacy and wonder...several gardens, including a sand garden, stone structures & paths', an outhouse, 2 garages & workshed, and a Gazebo, too many shrubs, trees & flower beds to count.
