Mid-Century Gem on Clausland Mountain

123 Kings Highway Orangeburg, New York 10962 États-Unis

Original mid-century modern gem on Clausland Mountain is available for the first time since it was built in 1958. The large open spaces, clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the modern aesthetic and create the connection with nature that has made this style of architecture so timeless. Designed by the current owners’ father Norris Crosby, an engineer and weekend race car driver, the house is perfectly sited on the hillside to showcase spectacular views, with dramatic sunrises and sunsets and even glimpses of the Manhattan skyline. Norris’ wife Ruth was a painter who studied with renowned local artist John Costigan, and 123 Kings Highway was often filled with a lively group of painting students and their preeminent teacher. The Crosby family were a part of the creative diaspora that fled the city for bucolic Rockland County beginning in the twentieth century, and continues to this day. A large double-sided, wood-burning fireplace connects the open living space with the dining room / kitchen. Full house generator. Spacious walk-out basement with fireplace and garage runs under the entire house and offers plenty of space for workshop, storage, etc. Only 16 miles from the GW Bridge and 4.5 miles from Cuomo/TZ Bridge; easy access to nearby Nyack and Piermont villages and parkland; and award winning South Orangetown schools.
