18 Scenic Drive

Introducing River View Mid-Century — an architect-owned and fully renovated MCM retreat with sweeping Hudson River views, a swimming pool and pond set on nearly five beautifully landscaped acres just eight miles south of Rhinebeck village. Offering 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, and over 3,300 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels, the home perfectly blends mid-century lines with warm, inviting interiors. Scenic Drive is a hidden enclave in Hyde Park just south of Rhinebeck village, tucked in between Rte 9 and the Hudson River. The neighborhood is a MCM lover’s dream; full of only mid-century homes terraced to take in the Hudson views. The long driveway sets the tone past a manicured lawn and a front patio perfectly positioned for sunset views over the Hudson. Inside, double doors open to an impressive foyer where a dramatic 1970’s fireplace anchors the expansive open-concept living and dining space. French doors lead to a stunning wisteria-covered pergola and front terrace — an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and entertaining with the river as backdrop. The renovated kitchen pairs clean modern lines with high-end finishes, including a large center island, induction range, Bosch appliances, oversized Restoration Hardware pendant and functional BBQ grill. A prominent staircase in the double height foyer leads to the upper level, where multiple seating areas capture views both north toward the pool and south toward the Hudson. Down the long gallery hall are two generous guest bedrooms, a large-scale office lined with oversized windows, and a beautifully updated full bath with double vanity and Ralph Lauren lighting. At the end of the hall, the primary suite occupies a private corner of the home. Wake to a wall of windows framing panoramic river views, with two closets and a spa-like bath featuring a glass shower and clawfoot soaking tub completing the space. The lower level is a fully finished walk-out with a second wood-burning fireplace, full bath with shower, and radiant heated floors throughout. Currently configured as a media room and gym, the flexible space can easily function as a private guest suite with separate entrances on both sides of the home. Outside, the rear of the property is centered around a large swimming pool with classic red brick surround, updated liner, and modernized mechanicals. Private and serene, the setting is surrounded by mature trees on three sides and offers multiple seating areas, a fire pit, expansive patio, and large level lawn. A short path winds through your own private woods to the pond below. Private yet highly accessible, just 11 minutes from Rhinebeck village and conveniently positioned between the Metro-North Railroad and Amtrak stations. Only 2 miles from Hyde Park village and under two hours from New York City.
