FOR SALE: HISTORIC RESTORED 1847 HOME- 2,414 SF on three-quarters of an acre with wonderful River views. CALL 212-620-0398 Priced to sell at $475,000. The home is 2414 S.F. sitting on 3/4 of an acre of landscaped property with water views. In renovating, careful attention was paid to maintain the original details such as plank wood floors, carvings, banisters and floor to ceiling windows but incorporating a modern kitchen and two marble tiled full-size baths. The dining room has an entrance to the veranda; the two living rooms have wood burning fireplaces. Upstairs there are four bedrooms all unique (one having a stairway that leads to a private glass windowed cupola for meditation, reading, writing, or simply enjoying the river from up high!) The carriage house can be converted into an art studio, small apartment, or garage. In the early 1900's this was the summer home of well-known artists Raphael and Gertrude Weed who were involved in the arts, and Broadway Theater. One of their guests, Joseph Hergesheimer, wrote a novel inspired by the River during his stay titled "Java Head." It was a best seller that became a silent movie in 1926. Hence the house became known as 'Java Head' by the historical plaque on the front door.
