Ki ap gade larivyè Hudson nan ti vil Balmville ki gen renome, "The Rest" se yon òf ra ak remakab—yon chef-d'œuvre Gothic Revival ak yon senbòl dirab nan achitekti 19tyèm syèk la, ki adapte ak mèz pou lavi modèn.
"The Rest" te fèt kòm yon travay atistik vivan ak yon kay akeyan ki selebre lwayote High Victorian Gothic Revival ki montre plafon ak dekorasyon ki monte, chandelye nan estil gasolier, pòt ki soti nan planche pou rive nan plafon ki bèlman dekore ak vitraj modèl dyaman, ak yon fenèt vitra Tiffany nan kè li.
Planch anbrase ak parquete, panèl bwa ki wo, ak pòt an poche parèt kòm eleman enpòtan nan sal dantre, salon, bibliyotèk, ak salle à manger. Sis mantèl pou chemine an bwa ak marb te ornen kay la. Vitrin ki genyen glass-front-built-ins ak chèz nan fenèt bay ki gen mouchwa ap envite nan pataje sekrè.
Jan non li di, "The Rest" se yon kay akeyan, ki chita sou konfò ak vi elaji sou larivyè Hudson soti nan yon verand ble ki travèse fasad lwès la.
Yon pantry pou sèvis konekte sal dine fòmèl la ak yon kwizin pou chef ki gen kontwa granit ak vi larivyè, yon salon cho ak gwo planche bwa, yon sal pou lafimen, ak aksè nan pisin chofe a.
Dezyèm etaj la ofri yon suite prensipal ak vi sou larivyè Hudson ak yon koridò pou abiye ki fèt sou-mesure. Twalèt an suite ki sanble ak yon spa genyen yon doub lavabo, kontwa kwatz, bidet, ak yon beny pou plonje ki gen vi sou larivyè.
Dezyèm etaj la konplete ak kat lòt chanm ak yon chanm bonis, de gen vi larivyè, ak de lòt twalèt konplè. Etaj ki pi wo yo konekte ak yon eskalye segondè ki discret e ki ankre pa yon oculus tradisyonèl oswa 'lanp tèt kay' ki filtre bèlman limyè solèy la desann sou etaj ki pi ba yo.
Siyen nan ane 1860 yo pa Daniel Bennett St. John—Kongrèman, Senatè, ak yon editè fondatè nan The New York Times—biwo sa a te fèt pa Frederick Clarke Withers, yon figi enpòtan nan achitekti Gothic Revival Ameriken ki te enfliyanse pa Calvert Vaux, ko-designè Central Park.

Overlooking the Hudson River in the esteemed hamlet of Balmville, The Rest is a rare and remarkable offering—a Gothic Revival masterpiece and enduring symbol of 19th-century architecture, masterfully adapted for modern living.
The Rest was designed as both a living work of art and an inviting home and celebrates the ethos of High Victorian Gothic Revival showcasing soaring tracery ceilings, gasolier-style chandeliers, floor to ceiling doors adorned with wood-framed diamond-patterned glass, and a Tiffany-style stained-glass window at its heart.
Rich inlaid and parquet floors, full-height wood wainscoting, and pocket doors feature prominently in the entry hall, drawing room, library, and dining room. Six original marble and wood fireplace mantels anchor the home. Glass-front-built-ins and intimate mullioned bay window seating invite the sharing of secrets.
Befitting its name, The Rest is an approachable home, grounded in comfort with expansive views of the Hudson from a bluestone veranda spanning the western facade.
A butler’s pantry connects the formal dining room with a chef’s kitchen featuring granite counters and river views, warm living room with wide wood plank floors, powder room, and access to the heated pool.
The second floor offers a primary suite with views of the Hudson and a custom dressing corridor. The spa-like ensuite has a double vanity, quartz counters, bidet, and soaking tub with river views.
The second floor is complete with four additional bedrooms and a bonus room, two with river views, and two more full baths. The upper floors are connected by a discreet secondary staircase and anchored by a traditional oculus or ‘roof lantern’ that beautifully filters daylight down to the floors below.
Commissioned in the 1860s by Daniel Bennett St. John— Congressman, Senator, and a founding editor of The New York Times—this estate was brought to life by Frederick Clarke Withers, a leading figure in American Gothic Revival architecture and influenced by Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
