Ki ap gade larivyè Hudson nan vilaj respekte Balmville a, sa a Gothic Revival mèt travay, The Rest se yon rare ak remakab ofrann—yon senbòl dirab nan achitèk 19yèm syèkl, ki te adapte ak majistral pou lavi modèn.
Kòmande nan ane 1860 yo pa Daniel Bennett St. John—Kongrè, Sena, ak yon editè fondatè nan The New York Times—pwopriyete sa a te pote nan lavi pa Frederick Clarke Withers, yon figi enpòtan nan achitèk Gothic Revival Ameriken, ki te enfliyanse pa Calvert Vaux, ko-wdesigner Central Park. The Rest te desine kòm tou de yon travay atizay vivan ak yon kay akeyan.
Kay la selebre ethos High Victorian Gothic Revival ki montre plafon tise sansasyonèl, chandelye nan stil gasolier, pòt ki soti nan plancher rive nan plafon ki dekore ak vè modèl dyaman nan yon kad bwa, ak yon pòt vè Tiffany nan kè li.
Tè ki gen twal infiltre ak parquet, panèl bwa ki rive nan plent, ak pòt pòch parèt enpòtan nan sal antre a, sal resepsyon an, bibliyotèk la, ak sal manje a. Sèti sis mantè fwomaj ak bwa orijinal ki bay kay la estabilite. Konsol vè ak entim bèz konbete envite pataje sekrè.
Ki apwopriye pou non li, The Rest se yon kay aksesib, ki chita nan konfò ak yon gwo vi sou Hudson soti nan yon verand ki fèt ak bluestone ki kouvri fasad lwès la.
Yon pantry butler konekte sal manje fòmèl la ak yon kwizin chef ki gen kontwa granit ak vi larivyè, yon sal vivan cho ak gwo planche bwa, yon twalèt, ak aksè nan pisin chofe a.
Dezyèm etaj la ofri yon suite prensipal ki gen vi sou Hudson ak yon koridò abiye pèsonalize. Ensuite ki sanble ak yon spa gen yon doub vanity, kontwa kwatz, bidet, ak yon basen poutan avèk vi larivyè.
Dezyèm etaj la konplè ak kat lòt chanm ak yon chanm bonis, de ki gen vi larivyè, ak de lòt twalèt konplè. Etaj ki pi wo yo konekte ak yon eskalye segondè disrè e ki ankré pa yon oculus tradisyonèl oswa 'lanp do' ki bèl filtre limyè jou a desann nan etaj ki anba yo.

Overlooking the Hudson River in the esteemed hamlet of Balmville, this Gothic Revival masterpiece, The Rest is a rare and remarkable offering—an enduring symbol of 19th-century architecture, masterfully adapted for modern living.
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. The Rest was designed as both a living work of art and an inviting home.
The home 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. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
