221 Kings Hwy, Tappan, NY 10983

It is shocking that a home of this style and grace still exists in the original historic state and best of all it is only about 20 minutes from the GWB in the Hudson River town of Tappan, NY. The original part of the house was first built in 1790 and it sets the tone for the entire 3,600+ square feet home. Rarely does one get the opportunity to step back in time without going to a museum. There is no question that this home needs some major restoration work but it is solid and has had valuable upgrades like the heating systems. Situated on almost a 1/2 acre and with the house located in the center of the property this place still offers privacy from the hustle and bustle of the world only miles away in New York City. If you are interested in a cookie cutter house in the suburbs then this isn t the house for you but if you have the passion and taste to restore this one-of-a-kind home then you should schedule a visit and relish in it s five fireplaces (four of them working), wide plank floors, graceful staircases and detailed door moldings.
