Johns, who lived in the home in the 1970s and 80s and turned 93 this month, is considered one of America’s greatest living artists. Well known for his depictions of targets, American flags and other U.S.-related themes, he is associated with abstract expressionism, the pop movement and Neo-Dada, known for the use of mass media and found objects. His iconic artwork sells for millions and hangs in museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The rustic, 1930s retreat at 160 W. Main St., Stony Point, is perched on a slope overlooking a brook on nearly 1.3 wooded acres. The main residence features a two-floor, two-bedroom home and Johns’ former studio, with roll-up, windowed doors. There is a separate efficiency studio apartment with bathroom and kitchenette adjacent to a detached, wooden garage where Johns also may have worked. The artist expanded the main home with four floor-to-ceiling glass garage-doors, two of which open the space to the elements, giving the effect of being in a treehouse while flooding the interior with sunlight.

The original portion of the house is a converted barn with preserved hand-hewn beams, barn board walls, wide plank floors and handmade tile floors. Other features include a gas fireplace, wooden deck and gravel terrace with fire pit. Stone walls and terraced gardens enhance the privacy of this secluded retreat.

The home is co-listed by Jacob P. Matthews and Jody Atkinson of Nyack-based Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty, who described the listing as a “rare opportunity to own a piece of history, a home of exceptional provenance, beautifully sited and well balanced with antique, rustic and contemporary architectural features. It’s a work of art, in and of itself.”

Most recently, the home was owned by the late William Tucker, a prolific, veteran journalist and author whose work has appeared in Harper’s, The Atlantic, The American Spectator, The New Republic, Reader’s Digest and other publications. He also was a regular columnist for the New York Post. He lived in Stony Point with his wife, who continued to live in the home.

Stoney Point is 30 miles from the George Washington Bridge and less than 10 minutes to Harriman State Park and the Lower Hudson River Valley’s coveted lifestyle and amenities.

A circa 1868 Gothic Revival listing, once home to actor Bill Murray in the exclusive Hudson Valley celebrity enclave of Snedens Landing, New York, is on the market for $2, 075,000 with Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty

Located at 124 Washington Spring Road, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home underwent a $1 million restoration in 2016 and features classic front and rear porches, a newly built porte-cochere for cars, high ceilings, restored wide board pine floors, original crown moldings, panel doors and three fireplaces including Victorian mantel with original Minton tiles and stone mantel.

“Though the home dates back to 1868, it was extensively restored by the previous owner with modern amenities,” said listing agent Richard Ellis, “What makes it so special is the preserved original period details you will find at every turn like the original crown moldings, restored pine floors, and fireplaces including a Victorian mantel with original Victorian ceramic Minton tiles from the late 1800s.  Actor Bill Murray once lived here while he was building and renovating the house he’d eventually move into in Snedens Landing.”
Like many other homes in the neighborhood, Snedens Landing has been home to many past and present celebrities and artists. Laurence Olivier, John Steinbeck, Katharine Hepburn, Al Pacino, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere and Diane Sawyer are among those who have called Snedens Landing home. Located in the Palisades community, the neighborhood is just 20 minutes north of the George Washington Bridge, and a short walk to the Hudson River, Snedens Landing Association Tennis Courts, farmer’s market and 1,700 acres of nearby parkland.

Iconic Pre-Revolutionary Snedens Landing Colonial Farmhouse with Celebrity Pedigree Lists for $6.5 Million

The iconic Ding Dong House, a pre-Revolutionary War Dutch colonial farmhouse in the exclusive Hudson Valley celebrity enclave of Snedens Landing, New York, is on the market for $6.5 million with Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty.

Originally built in 1750 with an addition in 1860, the historic 3-bed, 3.5-bath residence at 35 Washington Spring Road has been home to many celebrities including actors Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, Margot Kidder, producer Jerome Robbins and composer Aaron Copland.

The home and property underwent a $2.5 million restoration over the last five years and is being sold fully furnished, with 18th– and 19th-century antiques, furnishings and a collection of Hudson River School paintings.

Situated on a gentle hill three houses from the river, Ding Dong House offers sweeping views of the Hudson River from inside and out. The home features three ensuite bedrooms, three living room/den areas, four working fireplaces, wide-plank pine floors, period moldings and doors and a traditional English kitchen. The oldest section of the house is constructed of sandstone blocks from a nearby former quarry. Exterior highlights include a rear porch overlooking the Hudson River, new slate roof, security system, property wide landscaping, stone retaining walls and steps leading to a private yard that features entertaining areas, arbors, pool and an outdoor shower.

“This is the ultimate Snedens Landing house: Historic, private, turnkey, with great provenance and extraordinary views of the Hudson River,” said listing agent Richard Ellis. “Nothing compares.”

The home was originally built by John Sneden, whose family ran the ferry from Snedens Landing to Westchester’s Dobbs Ferry and lived there for almost 200 years. Known as the Ding Dong House because of a great bell that hung over its gate, it also is sometimes referred to as The Watson House, after the Watson family offered the home and collection of 300 books to be used by the public as the first local library in the Palisades in the 1890s.

The secluded Snedens Landing neighborhood near Palisades is just 12 miles north of the George Washington Bridge and has been home to past and present celebrities. Laurence Olivier, John Steinbeck, Katharine Hepburn, Al Pacino, Bill Murray, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere and Diane Sawyer are among those who have called Snedens Landing home.

Rare Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Hudson Valley Lists for $1.525 Million

Photography by Adrian Gaut

A rare Frank Lloyd Wright-designed midcentury home on 2.5 private acres in the Hudson Valley hamlet of Blauvelt in New York’s Rockland County, is on the market for $1,525,000 with Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty.

The 1961-built Socrates Zaferiou House, a Wright prefab design produced by Marshall Erdman and Associates, can be found on Clausland Mountain at 48 Clausland Mountain Road, within the 500-acre Blauvelt State Park.

Wright passed away in 1959 before the home was completed. The project architect, who also worked on the Guggenheim Museum in New York, finished it. Wright is considered one of America’s most prolific and influential architects and played an important role in the evolution of midcentury homes. His visionary work, spanning over seven decades, cemented his place as the American Institute of Architect’s “greatest American architect of all time.”

Photography by Adrian Gaut

The premise behind Wright’s design is to be in harmony with the environment, bringing the outdoors in with ample light and open spaces. The home, built into a hill, incorporates rows of glass doors and windows to bring nature inside the dwelling. Geometric designs and patterns are repeated throughout the home. Other appointments include extensive built-in cabinetry, a period-style patio with planting areas and full walkout basement with high ceilings.

Referencing the home’s original drawings and Frank Lloyd Wright archives, current owner and architectural designer Sarah Anderson-Magness carefully renovated the home, preserving key features such as the period red Formica kitchen and handmade tile bathroom.

The home is co-listed by Brandon Wagner and Richard Ellis of Nyack-based Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty.

“I love the property for its classic Frank Lloyd Wright style and the drama it creates,” said Wagner.

“Sarah Anderson-Magness, the current owner, and Socrates Zaferiou, the original owner, share a passion about preserving this historic home, and a desire that future owners will respect it in the same way. Socrates wanted to sell his home to someone that appreciated Wright’s designs and would be a proprietor to maintain the original design intent. Accordingly, we’re looking for a caretaker as much as a purchaser,” added Ellis.

Blauvelt, a hamlet in the town of Orangetown, is 28 miles north of New York City and just three miles from the Hudson River and historic Nyack, New York.

Annual Benefit Has Raised Over $180,000 for Hudson Valley Arts Education

Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty and the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center raised $31,285 during an annual fundraising event this month to support arts education programs benefiting more than 1,000 Hudson Valley public school students in grades K-12. The event has raised over $180,000 since its 2016 launch.

The benefit was held Oct. 9 at Treetops, a 7.5-acre private estate in Sparkill, New York, and drew over 80 attendees. Guests bid on several auction items, including original art and a tour of Edward Hopper’s New York exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Speakers included Farris Wahbeh, the Benjamin and Irma Weiss Director of Research Resources at the Whitney Museum of American Art; Eric Shiner, former senior vice president of contemporary art at Sotheby’s, who served as the event’s auctioneer; and Phil Grabsky, an award-winning British documentary filmmaker and director who debuted an exclusive clip of “Hopper: An American Love Story,” a film that examines Hopper’s art, life and relationships from his early career to his critical and commercial acclaim.

Rothko, Banksy, Alfred Hitchcock and even The Simpsons have been influenced by the unique way Hopper captured American life.

“Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and patrons, we have raised over $180,000 in the last seven years to nurture student engagement with the rts that foster peer interaction and socialization inside and outside of the academic setting,” said Richard Ellis, owner of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty. “This special event supports the development of creative young minds by connecting students with the art and legacy of Edward Hopper through a thriving arts education program.”

Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty currently is listing Treetops for sale at $3.99 million. The circa 1859 Second Empire-style estate near Snedens Landing hosted many Hollywood stars, including Liza Minnelli, Joan Rivers, Helen Hayes, Joan Collins, Ginger Rogers and Brooke Shields. In recent years it was the weekend retreat of the late Arlene Dahl, a screen actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and her husband, Marc Rosen, an award-winning perfume bottle designer.

“The benefit was a tremendous success due to the generosity of event sponsor Richard Ellis of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty and the gracious hospitality of Marc Rosen, who hosted this year’s benefit at his beautiful residence, Treetops, a truly and romantic property that transported guests to another era,” said Kathleen Motes Bennewitz, Edward Hopper House & Study Center executive director.

“The energy and optimism found among the event’s attendees translated into significant support for the Edward Hopper House & Study Center as it moves forward to 2023 and grows its art education series and Nighthawks mentorship program,” she said, adding that the annual benefit helps close gaps in arts education through partnerships with public schools, family workshops and its award-winning Nighthawks mentorship program. A portion of the monies raised will fund arts education classroom space, exhibitions and teaching curriculum.

Named after a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper by the same name, the Nighthawks mentorship and arts education program helps high school students develop professional skills, assume leadership roles and facilitate engagement with artwork and historic spaces.

The arts education program initially was funded in 2016 with proceeds from a fundraiser sponsored by Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty that benefited Nyack Public Schools, Nanuet School District, Clarkstown Schools, East Ramapo Schools, South Orangetown Middle School and Sleepy Hollow School District. The program expanded to Orange and Bergen counties in New Jersey this year.

(Sept. 6, 2019) – Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty has teamed up with Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center in Nyack to host its annual fundraiser at the Four Seasons Private Residences New York Downtown in New York City on Oct. 3 to benefit arts education in Hudson Valley public schools.

Strawtown elementary school pupils participate in the 2018 arts education program at the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center in Nyack, New York.

The event, scheduled Oct. 3 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., will feature an open bar and hors d’oeuvres. The Four Seasons Private Residences New York Downtown, located at 30 Park Place in Tribecca, overlooks the historic Woolworth building, Freedom Tower, Ellis Island and Hudson River.

During the last three years, Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty and Edward Hopper House raised about $80,000 to benefit arts education. The program has benefited over 1,000 pupils, encouraging them to expand their artistic analytical skills, become more creative and explore narrative storytelling as it relates to Edward Hopper’s art, home, life experiences and influence.

Special guests will include Kim Conaty, the Steven and Ann Ames curator of drawings and prints at the Whitney Museum of American Art, who will curate the Whitney’s next exhibit about Edward Hopper in 2021. A live auction will be hosted by Auctioneer Christy Williams Coombs, Sotheby’s vice president, museum and corporate art services, with Elizabeth Goodridge, Sotheby’s assistant vice president and specialist in American Art, attending.

Speaking of his firm’s support of Edward Hopper House, Richard Ellis, owner of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty, said he “believes in the importance of art education, for both the emotional and educational benefits it can provide young adults and for its influence on the way they appreciate not only art, but anything aesthetic for the rest of their lives.”

“Our vision is to build self-esteem in students K-12 in a supportive, creative partnership centered around art and the legacy of Edward Hopper. Funding for arts education has unfortunately been cut back through the years, and we believe this curriculum is important in creating a confident, well-rounded individual.”

“The Hudson Valley has a rich history of nurturing not only great artists but also free, independent thinkers who aren’t afraid to think out of the box. We have proudly served the Hudson Valley community for more than 33 years and are committed to nurturing our future generations.”

The program’s curriculum is focused on the recurrent themes and distinctive aesthetics of Edward Hopper’s work and its place in American art. Led by an artist-in-residence at the school, each program session includes an introductory classroom lesson, a visit to the Edward Hopper House and a classroom lesson following the visit.

The arts education program initially was funded in 2016 with proceeds from a fundraiser sponsored by Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty that benefited Nyack Public Schools, Nanuet School District, Clarkstown Schools, East Ramapo Schools, South Orangetown Middle School and Sleepy Hollow School District.

“The generosity of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty has allowed the Edward Hopper House to create and sustain a powerful arts education program,” said Jennifer Patton EdD, Edward Hopper House executive director. “Touching the lives and supporting the creativity of over 1,000 students has been made possible by this empowering partnership.”

Ellis added that the event is a “natural fit” for Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty because the company’s culture is built around Sotheby’s Auction House, which showcases objects and art of exceptional quality and trends
