Timeless Architecture.
Modern Excellence.

Set on an expansive .23-acre lot in the heart of prestigious Irvington, The Stuart House is a rare Colonial Revival masterpiece originally built in 1913. Thoughtfully restored and comprehensively renovated, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath estate blends historic grandeur with refined modern living. Its curated exterior palette highlights Doric and Ionic columns, intricate millwork, and timeless architectural detail — a home that commands presence while honoring its heritage.

Beyond the stately façade, the grounds unfold into a private, resort-like retreat. Designed for exceptional entertaining and everyday luxury, the outdoor living experience is nothing short of extraordinary. A portico-style covered dining and lounge space features overhead gas heaters, built-in lighting, a fireplace, and built-in BBQ — creating seamless year-round indoor-outdoor living.

The in-ground pool and hot tub elevate the experience further, offering a true sanctuary in the city. A finished carriage house with kitchenette, full bath, and sleeping lofts provides versatile guest or studio space, while the rare oversized two-car garage and sun deck add convenience and flexibility. This is more than a beautiful setting — it’s a fully realized estate experience.

Classic Craftsmanship,
Modern Comfort

Inside, a gracious central foyer welcomes you with coffered ceilings, pristine woodwork, and a sweeping staircase that sets the tone for the elegance throughout. Rare oak doors, fluted fireplaces, stained-glass transoms, and exquisite millwork showcase craftsmanship rarely found today.

Formal living and dining rooms offer refined gathering spaces, each thoughtfully connected to the grounds. The inviting eat-in kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional — equipped to host intimate dinners beside the cozy gas fireplace or prepare meals for a crowd with ease.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own gas fireplace, generous built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, a jetted tub, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a spacious laundry room complete the upper levels.

The lower level expands the home’s livability with a generous media and game room, fifth bedroom, full bath, additional laundry, and abundant storage.

Importantly, this is not simply a cosmetic renovation. The home has been meticulously updated with modern systems, including electrical, plumbing, windows, roof (2019), boiler (2016), and major structural improvements — ensuring that its beauty is matched by long-term integrity.
