Property Description

Welcome to “Eustatia” — one of Beacon’s most historically significant and architecturally remarkable homes. Built in 1867 for Judge John Monell and Caroline Downing, widow of celebrated architect Andrew Jackson Downing, this High Victorian Gothic estate was designed by Frederick Clarke Withers and published in the 1873 edition of Cottage Residences as Design XXV. Set on nearly five acres overlooking the Hudson River, this masterpiece stands as a living testament to 19th-century craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The main level features formal entertaining rooms with tall bay windows and French doors that once opened to a sweeping veranda — now leading to an enclosed family room and deck with panoramic Hudson River views. A large main-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests or single-level living. The living room flows seamlessly into a billiard room and library, creating a sophisticated setting for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms continue the home’s graceful design, with soaring ceilings, stunning light, and tranquil river views. Each space evokes peace and possibility — ideal for transforming into an artist’s retreat, creative studio, or wellness sanctuary. Located less than one mile from Beacon’s Main Street and Metro-North station, Eustatia offers a rare balance — proximity to art, nature, and culture, while feeling worlds away. More than a home, Eustatia is a living chapter of American architectural history — a luminous sanctuary of art, light, and legacy, awaiting its next visionary steward.
