About This Property
Every so often, a property comes to market that simply cannot be
replicated. Not because of its size or price, but because of the
decades of vision, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication poured
into every detail. These properties become part of a life story,
cherished not simply as a residence, but as a legacy. Welcome to 20
Demarest Avenue, West Nyack. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully
curated over the past 25 years, this extraordinary brick Colonial
is more than a home. It is a private mini gated estate where
timeless architecture, meticulous craftsmanship, and breathtaking
grounds create an unforgettable lifestyle. Set behind stately stone
walls and elegant wrought iron gates, this one of a kind property
spans 1.7 completely usable acres, offering exceptional privacy
just moments from the heart of West Nyack. A wraparound dual
driveway winds beneath a canopy of mature trees, creating an
arboretum like arrival that immediately sets the tone for what lies
beyond. The architecturally designed "Dream Garden" is a true
masterpiece, blending expansive bluestone patios with maintenance
friendly artificial turf, lush specimen plantings, and a fully
integrated Hydrawise irrigation system. As evening falls, the
professionally designed Kichler landscape lighting transforms the
grounds into a magical outdoor retreat. A stunning concrete
in-ground pool with diving board, decorative wrought iron safety
gates, and a peaceful pond and cascading waterfall complete this
remarkable backyard oasis. Inside, historic character has been
beautifully preserved while seamlessly embracing modern luxury.
Original chestnut doors with brass hardware, Venetian plaster
walls, picture moldings, and charming window seats with hidden
storage showcase craftsmanship rarely found today. At the heart of
the home is a beautifully appointed custom kitchen featuring custom
cabinetry, a built-in refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel integrated
dishwasher drawers, a professional Wolf five-burner range, and the
inviting Garden Room breakfast nook overlooking the spectacular
grounds. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the
main level offers a gracious formal dining room, an expansive
family room, a charming enclosed porch ideal as a reading room or
home office, an additional sitting room rich with original
architectural details, and the beloved "Serenity Room." Framed by
French doors overlooking the backyard, this peaceful retreat
features a handsome gas fireplace and an adjoining handicap
accessible full bath, making it ideal as a luxurious guest suite or
main-level primary. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a
private primary suite with en suite bath, an additional full hall
bath, and a staircase leading to a veranda overlooking the estate
like grounds. A substantial walk up attic provides exceptional
storage or exciting future expansion possibilities, while the full
basement offers abundant additional storage. Perfectly positioned
within the highly sought after Clarkstown Central School District,
the home is just minutes from the Village of West Nyack, where
parks, seasonal concerts, holiday celebrations, and community
events create a true neighborhood atmosphere. Within minutes
