Contemporary Country Cottage

149 Washington Spring Road 帕利赛兹, 纽约 10964 美国

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind residence in bucolic Snedens Landing; a storied, artistic enclave nestled in Palisades, NY, just 11 miles north of the GW Bridge. This exceptional home began as a midcentury house turned artist’s studio and was masterfully reimagined into a refined and inviting country cottage by award-winning designer Ernest de la Torre. Every inch of the house was gut renovated with the highest attention to detail, merging timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated modern living.

The home’s centerpiece is a breathtaking, light-filled open plan living / dining room with wood burning fireplace. This soaring, double-height space—once the artist’s studio—features French doors and skylights that blur the line between indoors and out. Gaze up through the rafters to view the sky, or out into the surrounding landscape where mature trees create a serene and immersive natural experience. The interplay of volume, light, and greenery brings the outdoors in, evoking the feeling of a woodland retreat. In addition to brand new custom windows and doors, the designer sourced and restored antique windows to serve as accents throughout the house.

Situated on a generous, tree-filled lot, the home is surrounded by natural landscaping that complements the exurban charm of Snedens Landing. The house strikes a perfect balance between midcentury roots and contemporary country elegance, ideal for those seeking a peaceful refuge with easy access to NYC.

Snedens Landing has long been a haven for artists, actors, and writers drawn to its quiet, community-focused lifestyle and unspoiled natural beauty. This home is a rare opportunity to become part of that legacy—where history, nature, and design meet in perfect harmony.
