Rockland County: An Alternative to New York City

Caroline Fiske

As New York City is slowly starting to come back to life during the various reopening phases, people have been looking to live in other places besides New York City. Mainly because of wanting a bigger house to be quarantined in rather than a claustrophobic apartment. Listed below is a house that is on the market located in Rockland County. This is just one of the many options for being a New York resident somewhere other than New York City.

Located at 7 Tompkins Court in Nyeck, this gorgeous Hudson Riverfront Mediterranean-style mansion comes with 200 feet of a private beach area behind the house. It has hit the market for $1.85 million in Upper Nyack, NY. Located on a private hillside and just 30 miles away from New York City, this 4,429 square foot accompanies 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with picturesque views throughout the home. 

The owners of this house are Dorit and Stan Kramer, they are the founders of the well known “Art Cafe” in Nyack, NY, their son Daniel is now in charge of this cafe. The Kramer’s bought the land and in 2001, their Hudson Riverfront dream home was born. This home has been the site of all family events from weddings to birthday parties to graduations, and the Don DiNovi inspired kitchen was featured in Signature Kitchen and Baths in the Spring of 2003. Dorit and Stan have raised five kids and nowadays they are downsizing and staying locally. Below is a link to the video of the Kramer’s magnificent Hudson Riverfront home.

Besides the private beach and the beautiful exterior surroundings of nature, this house also contains .63 acres of the former Rose family estate. It is also conveniently located less than a mile away from the center of Nyack Village. Built-in 2002 and crafted with organic wood, metal, and stone, you will be transported from the time you walk through the large oak gate and trellis leading into a private courtyard garden and then enter the house through double, elegantly carved, heavy maple doors. You can also see and hear the calming essence of the Hudson River from everywhere in the house. With wrap-around terraces, terracotta tile roof, double-sided fireplace with hand-hewn pine beams, a custom gourmet kitchen with a walk-in pantry, two decor wall ovens, a mosaic tile entry, customized stained glass windows, a three-car garage, custom wrought iron railings, a 48" glass-front Traulsenfridge, and imported light fixtures, how could you go wrong?

So what are you waiting for? If you are looking for a place to live in New York that isn’t New York City, get this house before it’s gone!
