One of Grandview's most iconic homes, Alahambra-On-Hudson. First time on the market in over 60 years. This late 1800s folk style Victorain home, features a sandy beach on the river, and a huge flat, rear and side yard with much privacy, speciman plantings/trees and a seawall. This period home offers gingerbread trim on its exterior and classic features inside. Feel the tranquility and elegance of this period home the minute you step in the front door. Its double door entry with period etched glass doors, 2 fireplaces, beautiful douglas fir floors - overall in great shape, panel doors, original wavy glass windows, floor to ceiling windows and bay windows, all give the home its unique character and personality. There are also two large verandas off the back of the house facing the Hudson, and more. One can easily walk to the old rail trail that runs over 10 miles, just a few doors away off Station Lane. This home started out as a summer home in the 1850s for the Briggs family, and was expanded along the way and used as a boarding hosue around the turn to the 1900s. Alahambra features 3 levels of living space with full size windows and doors and a finished attic level with wainscotting & plumbing; and a walk out cellar with access to river too. The property features two lots, on the riverside find lot, #172, which was a double lot years ago, and with variances could possibly be sub-divided again. And the seperate lot directly across the street is #165, featuring an old carriage house, used as a 3 to 4 car garage. This lot is .24 of an acre. The village of Grandview permits lots .25 acres or more to be a building lot for a home. With a variance this could perhaps be a separate building lot as well.
