Most Expensive Home Sold In Nyack In 2019

NYACK, NY — The most expensive home sold in Nyack in 2019 was a record-setter. When the sale of the 6.5-acre, waterfront home on the Hudson River in Upper Nyack was announced, Richard Ellis, owner of Nyack-based Ellis Sotheby's International Realty, said the $5.2 million selling price was the third-highest selling price recorded by the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service for all of Rockland County and the highest selling price recorded by the service since 2013.

The $5.2 million sale price wasn't surpassed in the following months, according to zillow.com.

The luxurious estate at 641 N. Broadway is one of the largest privately owned parcels on the west bank of the Hudson.

It occupies 723 feet of shoreline in a private setting that was a sandstone quarry during the 1800s. The home offers spectacular vistas of the river as well as Hook Mountain and features 30-foot ceilings with glass walls, antique barn beams and blue stone floors.

The five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home also includes a spacious master bedroom suite that opens to the Hudson River and a rear yard that also faces the water. Amenities include a dock, in-ground pool and sandy beach.

Local artist Edward Hopper, widely acknowledged as one of the most important painters of 20th century America, painted the view from the home, and the British came on shore and fired their cannons there during the Revolutionary War, as documented in a letter to George Washington. "A cannonball was found at the property – truly a trophy home," Ellis said.
