Montrose Manor


Located on the edge of Georges Island Park in Montrose, this property has stunning views across the park to the Hudson. Built in 1888, the 4,700 square foot house has a number of large public rooms and 4 bedrooms. There's what looks like a recently renovated master suite (which is too McMansion for my taste), central AC, and a "gourmet" kitchen. The 6 acre property features a pool, tennis court, and a one-bedroom guest house. The estate stands out in the otherwise modest neighborhood, and the property has just been re-listed after failing to sell last year. The taxes are hefty at $32,227, but this listing seems to offer quite a lot for the price. $1,599,000

Jeff,

This house is pretty close to both the Cortland train station and to the Croton-Harmon train station. The rush hour express train is 43-50 minutes from those stations to Grand Central. If you're driving, the trip (without severe traffic) should be just about an hour.
