79 Depot Place, Orangetown, NY 10960

79 Depot Place is a pristinely renovated Victorian on a charming, historic village street, near restaurants, shops, and the Hudson River. Words don't do justice to the current owner's transformation of this house. He showed sensitivity to the historic nature of the structure and updated for the 21st century: peeling back vinyl siding to reveal and restore the original wood facade, expanding and updating the kitchen, adding central AC, designing a charming perennial garden, and bringing back historic details throughout the house. An added bonus is the walkup attic, with loads of potential as office, studio, and playroom space. One of the historic Browning Cottages, built in the late 1800s by John Hull Browning (president of the Northern Railroad Company), back when the street was called Railroad Avenue, named for the nearby passenger train station. The railroad is long gone, replaced by a park, tennis courts, community garden, and best of all the Esposito Trail, a walking / cycling path that connects to nearby villages and the dedicated car-free roadway across the new Mario Cuomo Bridge. Zoned for award winning Upper Nyack Elementary, and convenient for commute to NYC, Westchester, and NJ.
