俯瞰哈德遜河，位於著名的小村莊Balmville，這座哥德復興杰作——The Rest，提供了一個稀有且非凡的機會，是19世紀建築的持久象徵，巧妙地適應了現代生活。

這座府邸於1860年代由國會議員、參議員暨《紐約時報》創始編輯丹尼爾·班尼特·聖約翰所委託，由美國哥德復興建築的領軍人物弗雷德里克·克拉克·威瑟斯打造，並受到中央公園共同設計師卡爾弗特·沃克的影響。The Rest的設計既是一件生活的藝術品，也是令人愉悅的家。

此住宅慶賀高維多利亞哥德復興的精神，展示了高聳的花格天花板、華麗的吊燈、裝飾著木框鑽石圖案玻璃的落地門，以及位於心臟部位的蒂芙尼風格彩繪玻璃窗。

入口大廳、會客室、圖書館和餐廳中，豐富的嵌入式地板和拼花地板、全高木質壁板，還有壁櫥門的存在感格外突出。六個原始的瑪瑙和木製壁爐架為家增添了穩定性。帶玻璃前面的內嵌儲物櫃和親密的有格窗的灣窗座位邀請人們分享秘密。

名符其實的The Rest是一個平易近人的家，根植於舒適，從橫跨西立面的藍石露台上可俯瞰哈德遜河的壯觀景色。

一個管家餐具室將正式的餐廳與擁有花崗岩台面的廚師廚房連接，廚房享有河景，溫馨的客廳擁有寬大木板地板，還有盥洗室及通往加熱游泳池的通道。

二樓提供了一個主套房，享有哈德遜河的美景，並設有定制更衣走廊。水療般的套間設有雙洗手盆、石英台面、坐廁和可俯瞰河景的浴缸。

二樓還包括四間額外的臥室和一個額外房間，其中兩間臥室享有河景，另外還有兩個完整的浴室。上層樓以一個不顯眼的次樓梯相連，並由一個傳統的小圓窗或“屋頂燈籠”作為支撐，優雅地將日光引導到下方的樓層。

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
