Every so often, a property comes to market that simply cannot be replicated. Not because of its size or price, but because of the decades of vision, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication poured into every detail. These properties become part of a life story, cherished not simply as a residence, but as a legacy. Welcome to 20 Demarest Avenue, West Nyack. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully curated over the past 25 years, this extraordinary brick Colonial is more than a home. It is a private mini gated estate where timeless architecture, meticulous craftsmanship, and breathtaking grounds create an unforgettable lifestyle. Set behind stately stone walls and elegant wrought iron gates, this one of a kind property spans 1.7 completely usable acres, offering exceptional privacy just moments from the heart of West Nyack. A wraparound dual driveway winds beneath a canopy of mature trees, creating an arboretum like arrival that immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond. The architecturally designed "Dream Garden" is a true masterpiece, blending expansive bluestone patios with maintenance friendly artificial turf, lush specimen plantings, and a fully integrated Hydrawise irrigation system. As evening falls, the professionally designed Kichler landscape lighting transforms the grounds into a magical outdoor retreat. A stunning concrete in-ground pool with diving board, decorative wrought iron safety gates, and a peaceful pond and cascading waterfall complete this remarkable backyard oasis. Inside, historic character has been beautifully preserved while seamlessly embracing modern luxury. Original chestnut doors with brass hardware, Venetian plaster walls, picture moldings, and charming window seats with hidden storage showcase craftsmanship rarely found today. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed custom kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a built-in refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel integrated dishwasher drawers, a professional Wolf five-burner range, and the inviting Garden Room breakfast nook overlooking the spectacular grounds. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level offers a gracious formal dining room, an expansive family room, a charming enclosed porch ideal as a reading room or home office, an additional sitting room rich with original architectural details, and the beloved "Serenity Room." Framed by French doors overlooking the backyard, this peaceful retreat features a handsome gas fireplace and an adjoining handicap accessible full bath, making it ideal as a luxurious guest suite or main-level primary. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a private primary suite with en suite bath, an additional full hall bath, and a staircase leading to a veranda overlooking the estate like grounds. A substantial walk up attic provides exceptional storage or exciting future expansion possibilities, while the full basement offers abundant additional storage. Perfectly positioned within the highly sought after Clarkstown Central School District, the home is just minutes from the Village of West Nyack, where parks, seasonal concerts, holiday celebrations, and community events create a true neighborhood atmosphere. Within minutes to some of the states best police, fire department and ambulatory services. Shopping, dining, recreation, and major highways are all nearby, providing convenient access to Rockland County, Westchester, northern New Jersey, and New York City. 20 Demarest Avenue is more than a remarkable home. It is a once in a generation opportunity to become the next steward of a property lovingly cared for and thoughtfully enhanced for decades.
