This house is really interesting in terms of its architecture, the interior and its history. Set on a nice property in a lovely residential area. And it’s easily accessible, not hours away. We had a one hour tour with docent Farrah. Lots of interesting info. You must book online in advance. Highly recommend.

This little fairy tale house is the home of author Washington Irving and his family. The house itself was once a small stone cottage that the author expanded to be his weekend home and then his permanent home after he moved up from New York City. The house and grounds still contain family artifacts and the barn and ice house are still in good shape and can be seen. The house's furnishings are family heirlooms that were bought by the Rockefeller family and brought back to the house. The tour consists of seeing the downstairs social public areas and the upstairs living quarters. It is not the biggest house in the neighborhood but it still is impressive. The views of the Hudson are amazing!
