Rare Gilded Age Estate, 25 Miles North of NYC
Villa Nuit is set in 4.78 rolling acres in Irvington-on-Hudson with lush grounds and a swimming pool, and is one of the last grand 19th century homes of its kind in New York.
The timeless residence once belonged to one of the richest men in the world, John Jacob Astor IV.
You can also recognize the home from Martin Scorsese’s 1993 film “The Age of Innocence”, based on Edith Wharton’s beloved 1920 novel.
The 9 bedroom residence was built in the Italianate style in 1853, and features much of its original detail, seen in the carved wood moldings, doors and fireplaces, while having been updated by the current owner for modern living.
