Welcome to 689 South Mountain Road, a spectacular and storied country retreat set along one of New City’s most scenic roads — just a 35-minute drive to the George Washington Bridge. Dating back to the pre-revolutionary 1750s, this remarkable Colonial-era home has been meticulously cared for and remains in exceptionally pristine condition, offering a very rare blend of historic authenticity with all the modern comforts and conveniences.

Every square inch of this home reflects timeless craftsmanship while offering endless possibilities to tailor the space to your own lifestyle, tastes, and needs. The main-level entrance opens to a spacious foyer that flows into a welcoming living room or den with a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful exposed beams overhead. Toward the rear of the home, another enormous living room captivates with four dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, highlighting the tray ceiling, gleaming and immaculate dark hardwood floors, and another wood-burning fireplace. An adjoining library, sitting room, or office with its own private entrance adds flexibility. Above this space, a charming loft bedroom offers a peaceful retreat ideal for rest and solitude. The fully renovated ground-level kitchen features all-new appliances and blends seamlessly with the home’s historic character. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and one full bathroom, completing the thoughtfully designed layout. The elegant original details abound including a double Dutch interior door, multiple skylights, and three working fireplaces, two of which are equipped with Jøtul wood-burning stoves (using durable cast iron construction and high-efficiency clean-burn technology). The home is partially furnished for added convenience. Outside, enjoy a large circular driveway with ample parking, a charming front patio perfect for morning coffee or evening wine, and a beautifully terraced landscape with fieldstone walls, side yard, and exceptional privacy. Tenant responsible for gas, electric, and internet ($88/month). Located in the Clarkstown School District. Less than 1 hour to NYC. Just 2 miles to the Haverstraw Ferry Terminal. This storybook home is a rare gem—move-in ready with nothing to do but unpack. A truly special opportunity that won’t last.
