23 Clinton Avenue

Gracious c.1866 center hall colonial on a rare one-acre property on one of South Nyack’s most coveted blocks offers a rare blend of historic character, modern comfort, and creative possibilities. Originally sited to face the Hudson River — when the river was the road — the house still still captures water views from its east-facing rooms. Over time, the house was thoughtfully reoriented, and what was once the front porch is now a spacious screened porch overlooking the river. This inviting space connects directly to the kitchen and family room, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen was expanded and renovated, and the family room features a wood-burning fireplace. The one-acre property includes a restored two-story barn with heat and central air, offering flexible space for a studio, office, or recreation. Inside the main house, the second floor is arranged in two wings. The primary suite occupies the south wing and includes a dressing area with built-ins, a full bath, and a private balcony with river views and an outdoor shower. Additional bedrooms and a bonus room with a balcony are located in the north wing. With over 2,000 additional square feet across a finished attic, basement playroom, and the barn, there is room to grow and create. Updates by the current owner include renovated bathrooms, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, central air on the first floor, and a split system in the attic. Conveniently located near the village of Nyack, with its shops, restaurants, and arts community, and within commuting distance of New York City, this home offers a combination of historic character, usable space, and a scenic setting.
