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.

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.
