Widewater on Hudson, Estate of the Day

Today's estate in the town of Nyack, New York might need a little work to restore it to its former glory. The Italianate Victorian Mansion with beautiful Hudson River views is currently broken into six separate apartment suites in 10,000 square feet. The home dates back to the 1850s and sits on 3.5 acres of landscaped property. The home has a formal dining room, sun rooms and a cupola. It also comes with a six-car garage and a two-story river-front boat house. The estate comes with a 300' riverfront beach and a 130' dock. The land can also be subdivided or the home could be converted into condos. It is listed at $7.95 million.

Re #1: "What Lies Beneath" was filmed in various parts of Vermont and also studio-based shots done in California. Nothing filmed in Nyack, NY.
This is a lovely offering with a wonderful facade and is perfectly situated with those water views. Gobs of character unlike the monstrosity in TN featured yesterday. That thing had some hideous carport in the middle of it, breaking any logical flow or use of the property. Whereas this home is graceful, charming, dignified and yet still speaks volumes to any visitor of the success of its owner.
It will however be costly to reconfigure the house back into a single residence. Broken into apartments already now, this property likely is better suited to a sympathetic condo conversion as suggested. There is almost no disruption in the visual presentation today - I couldn't tell from the pics it was a multiple unit dwelling.
