191 Villard Ave, Hastings On Hudson, NY 10706

A Village home with genuine soul and a view to match.nnStanding tall along the western side of Villard Avenue - Riverview Manor's park-like thoroughfare - this magnificent 1915 Colonial commands sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Palisades beyond. Thoughtfully renovated and expanded over the years, the home strikes a perfect balance between preserved original charm and carefully considered modern updates - with custom built-ins, crown moldings throughout, and bespoke details woven into every room.nnThe first floor welcomes you with a gracious entry foyer that flows naturally into a serene sitting room, where eastern light fills the mornings and a dramatic picture window frames breathtaking river sunsets. French doors open onto a generous brick patio and a flat, sprawling backyard, dotted with mature trees - a private and tranquil outdoor retreat. The formal dining room continues the flow, with its own set of French doors to the patio, before opening into a large, light-filled eat-in kitchen anchored by a center island with stone countertops and seating for two, custom warm-toned wood cabinetry, glass-front display cases, a built-in hutch, and a decorative tile backsplash - all flooded with natural light from a clerestory window. The adjacent breakfast nook is a sun-drenched retreat wrapped in windows on two sides, with a gorgeous built-in sideboard that's as functional as it is beautiful. A hallway off the kitchen leads to a mudroom and side entrance, a full bathroom,
