MLS# H6332423 - 19 & 28 Ludlow Lane, Orangetown, NY 10964

Set on nearly 4 acres straddling a private lane in Snedens Landing, this spectacular house was built in the 1980s as a family house for a world renowned actor / comedian. Award winning architecture firm Shope Reno Wharton incorporated elements of the Yellow Barn, the original structure on the property, into a new and expanded masterpiece. Inspired by the design language of the charming 19th century structure, the architect created a 5,177 sf house and free standing 2 car garage with office/studio above, with all modern conveniences, that harkens back architecturally to the charming Yellow Barn and the bygone days of river village life in Snedens Landing. #19, set on nearly 2 acres, was originally part of the Claggett family estate, which included the architecturally significant Cedar Grove house next door. Light streams into the striking living room—featuring beautiful architectural details including 15' ceilings, wood burning fireplace, office nook with built-in day bed, unique windows and sets of french doors leading to a wrap around porch, large lawn, and treehouse. Every room is spacious including the first floor primary suite and formal dining room. The recently renovated kitchen with large island and state of the art appliances, is located in the footprint of the Yellow Barn and incorporates the original 19th century wood burning fireplace. A laundry room and en suite au pair / housekeeper bedroom are located off the kitchen. Up the prominent central staircase, bathed in light from the cupola above, the second story of this custom house features an enormous primary suite with high ceilings, 2 walk in closets, and a full bath on one side of the house, and 2 generous-sized bedrooms with shared bath on the other. Also included in the sale is 28 Ludlow Lane, an additional 2 acre parcel, on a separate / buildable tax lot. Following in the tradition of Snedens as home to artists / creatives, residents of this house have included well-known actors, a composer, and, currently, artists whose work appears in museums around the world. Snedens Landing, located only 11 miles north of the GW Bridge, is known for its country feel with easy access to NYC, 90-year-old tennis association, award winning schools; and is surrounded by parkland and the Hudson River.
