"THE SECRET GARDEN" - Ever dream of owning a three story "brownstone" in the heart of Piermont (one of Woody Allen's favorite river town villages, who featured this home in "The Purple Rose of Cairo" & "First Sight"), just 20 minutes north of Manhattan? Imagine waking up to the birds chirping on your third floor master suite, with a fantasy master bath, bountiful light, balcony and seasonal views of the Hudson River? Or what about rummaging through the fruit trees, rose garden & grape arbors in the fairytale secret garden you never knew existed? As soon as you enter from either world - Piermont Ave, the main strip, with the most sought after entertaining porch, or through the hidden garden entrance, complete with parking for 3, you will instantly escape to a place you will never want or need to leave... This is the best of both worlds; from city to country, literally footsteps to 5 star dining, art galleries, the Hudson River, kayaking, marinas, nature parks, farmers markets and all the "action" when needed, yet an oasis that is so private with a romantic garden & gazebo that will transport you right to the English countryside. From the dramatic entry and staircase, to the formal dining room leading outside to Paradiso via French doors and yet another seating porch, to the gourmet chef's kitchen, closets galore, a storybook laundry room, potting studio, wine cellar and more, this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home needs nothing other than the company of friends & family! Even the water "tastes like heaven" thanks to the Tensui water purification system! Currently home to renowned artist & chef extraordinaire, Laura Straus, this village residence is unusual and striking, making it the perfect transition for the person that doesn't want to lose that "downtown" city vibe, yet open to a new life, at a slightly slower change of pace...
