The Entrance
Situated at the end of Hilltop Road, the circular drive, surrounding a beautiful, tiered fountain, directs one to the front door, standing between sentinel columns of the attractive portico.
The Front Hall
The massive, welcoming front hall easily accommodates a baby grand piano. The beautiful oak floors lead one north, past a cloak room and powder room; south, to the expansive living room, and east, to the library and dining room. Another prominent feature of this space is the sweeping, grand staircase, with its beautifully detailed stenciling.

Living Room
Turning to the south, one passes through the gallery, with its attendant wet-bar room, to the vast (29 by 22 foot), brilliant living room. Large windows occupy three walls, and a stately fireplace anchors the north end of the room.
Through a large, south-facing sliding glass door, one accesses the wrap-around porch with stone floor, 42 feet long, and 8 feet wide. From this vantage, one overlooks the south lawns, pool, and, beyond, the Hudson Valley, the Albany skyline, and the majestic Catskill Mountains.

Straight through the front hall one enters the large, formal dining room. Two elegant brass chandeliers illuminate this space, which easily handles large banquets, and multiple china cabinets or buffets.
