俯瞰哈德逊河，这座位于尊贵小村庄巴尔姆维尔的哥特复兴杰作“休憩”是一处稀有且引人注目的物业——19世纪建筑的持久象征，巧妙地适应现代生活需求。
这座庄园由丹尼尔·本内特·圣约翰于1860年代委托建造——他是国会议员、参议员以及《纽约时报》的创始主编——由美国哥特复兴建筑的重要人物弗雷德里克·克拉克·威瑟斯设计，并受到中央公园共同设计师卡尔弗特·沃克斯的影响。“休憩”被设计为一件栖居的艺术品和一处宜人的家园。
这座住宅体现了高维多利亚哥特复兴的精神，展示了高耸的花纹天花板、煤气吊灯、装饰有木框钻石图案玻璃的落地门，以及位于其中心的蒂凡尼风格彩色玻璃窗。
富丽的镶嵌和拼花地板、全高木质墙板，以及在入口大厅、客厅、图书馆和餐厅中突出的暗门，尽显典雅。六个原始的大理石和木质壁炉架为这座家园提供了稳固的基座。玻璃前嵌入式储物柜和宜人的窗台窗户座位鼓励分享秘密。
名符其实的“休憩”是一个易于接近的家，舒适的居所，西侧的蓝石阳台提供了广阔的哈德逊河景色。
礼貌的储藏室将正式餐厅与设有花岗岩台面和河景的厨师厨房相连，温馨的客厅配有宽大的木地板，此外还有化妆间和通往加热泳池的通道。
二楼提供一间主套房，享有哈德逊河的美景和定制的更衣走廊。带有双洗手盆、石英台面、坐浴盆和可眺望河景的浸泡浴缸的温泉般的套间浴室令人愉悦。
二楼还设有四间额外的卧室和一个额外房间，其中两间享有河景，另外还有两个全浴室。上层楼通过一条不显眼的次级楼梯连接，并以一个传统的圆顶窗或“屋顶灯笼”锚定，优雅地将自然光过滤至下层楼面。

Overlooking the Hudson River in the esteemed hamlet of Balmville, this Gothic Revival masterpiece, The Rest is a rare and remarkable offering—an enduring symbol of 19th-century architecture, masterfully adapted for modern living.
Commissioned in the 1860s by Daniel Bennett St. John— Congressman, Senator, and a founding editor of The New York Times—this estate was brought to life by Frederick Clarke Withers, a leading figure in American Gothic Revival architecture and influenced by Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park. The Rest was designed as both a living work of art and an inviting home.
The home celebrates the ethos of High Victorian Gothic Revival showcasing soaring tracery ceilings, gasolier-style chandeliers, floor to ceiling doors adorned with wood-framed diamond-patterned glass, and a Tiffany-style stained-glass window at its heart.
Rich inlaid and parquet floors, full-height wood wainscoting, and pocket doors feature prominently in the entry hall, drawing room, library, and dining room. Six original marble and wood fireplace mantels anchor the home. Glass-front-built-ins and intimate mullioned bay window seating invite the sharing of secrets.
Befitting its name, The Rest is an approachable home, grounded in comfort with expansive views of the Hudson from a bluestone veranda spanning the western facade.
A butler’s pantry connects the formal dining room with a chef’s kitchen featuring granite counters and river views, warm living room with wide wood plank floors, powder room, and access to the heated pool.
The second floor offers a primary suite with views of the Hudson and a custom dressing corridor. The spa-like ensuite has a double vanity, quartz counters, bidet, and soaking tub with river views.
The second floor is complete with four additional bedrooms and a bonus room, two with river views, and two more full baths. The upper floors are connected by a discreet secondary staircase and anchored by a traditional oculus or ‘roof lantern’ that beautifully filters daylight down to the floors below. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
