195 S Highland Avenue, Orangetown, NY 10960

Since the 1920s, this gracious riverview estate has been a zen-like haven to celebrities, heiresses and luminaries from around the world. Rich in history as it was the first home built by America's first yogi Pierre Bernard on the grounds of the legendary Clarkstown Country Club. Inside is a work of art with each room offering a view of the river or nature. Stunning, period details including arches, polished Tiger Maple doors, rich woodwork and original tilework combine perfectly with modern amenities like the updated kitchen with crushed granite countertops, top-tier appliances. You will love the family room/formal dining room with its wall of windows and a view that spans all the way from Hook Mountain to the Piermont pier. Other highlights include a living room with a cozy fireplace, a first floor en suite guest room (currently used as a home office) and paneled den with skylight. The grounds are magnificent with lovely gardens and outdoor areas including a riverview terrace and great lawn with lots of room to entertain and a heated black-bottom pool for hours of summertime fun. Additional highlights include a gated entry, circular driveway, ample parking, Vermont slate roof and copper gutters. Enjoy the rivertown lifestyle with great shops, cool restaurants and an abundance of recreational activities like hiking, biking and sailing. All this and so much more and only minutes to Manhattan.
