The Red Barn sits on a private lane on 4.23 acres in Snedens Landing in Palisades, New York. We've mentioned Snedens Landing as a place where some of the more privacy-minded celebrities have a home. Today's estate is an ideal retreat. It is located down a long gravel drive. The home began as a barn in the 19th century but was later converted into a residence and then expanded in the 1990s to create a spacious and beautiful home with wiide open spaces and large windows offering a water view. The property also includes a perfectly charming albeit much smaller separate home and two other lots. The main house is 5,800 square feet overlooking the Hudson. It has a formal dining room with a fireplace, sunroom, living room, and five bedrooms. The total property is listed at $6.3 million.

An interesting offering. The main floor of the converted barn is modestly charming in my view with the hardwoods of the dining room.

I would've expected perhaps a more taller ceiling height or open air quality to the layout. The living room with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson is inviting although kind of simple. The downside to the dining room is a slight cave-like and very tight quality.

I wish the exterior was more dressed up which can be done (see below) and still retain the barn personality and feel. Perhaps it is just the dead of winter making it look so drab or maybe the ho-hum brickwork, but the facade up close isn't suggesting the property (regardless of it being on the Hudson) is worth anything near $4M let alone $6.3M.

An example of another converted barn for sale with a more open design although in need of a full gutting as its sad, dated, conversion in place today: http://www.mccaffreyrealty.com/listings/2612245a/Brochure%209%20So%20Mountain%20BMcCaffrey%5B1%5D.pdf
