Shadowcliff, on 2.22 acres with 122 of Hudson River frontage, is an outstanding example of early 20th century Neoclassical architecture, and an historically important property. Beginning at the turn of the last century, farmers sold their riverfront acreage to people looking to build quiet riverfront estates near the city. Shadowcliff was built in 1921 for local artist and concert pianist Mrs. Eleanor Manville Ford, using the latest in fireproof construction. The grand hall is highlighted by a cantilevered curving staircase, bay windows afford sweeping river views, and 16k+ sf on 3 floors with original details provide many possibilities for new owners interested in reviving Shadowcliff as a family home. From 1957, the house served as home to the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an interfaith peace and justice organization, with members including the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Old stone retaining walls follow the land down to the Hudson river banks with expansive, panoramic views.
