COVE HOUSE, Germantown New York Perched atop a bluff overlooking the Hudson River, Cove House is a secluded 12-acre estate formally part of the Philip Rockefeller farm. The main building is a 3500 square-foot Italian inspired farmhouse with a two-level arched pergola porch, and a cupola. On the primary level, the house features 10' and 14' ceilings. The house features plaster walls, and classical trim. Hardwood, and wide board antique pine floors are seen throughout the house. The main house was built in 1999. The spacious chef's kitchen features a Wolf dual-fuel range and Vermont soapstone countertops. It opens to a generous dining area with striking views of the Hudson River. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. Two additional rooms on the main level are currently configured as an office suite. Together, they could also accommodate a private main-level bedroom suite. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with French doors opening onto a private 400-square-foot deck. The primary bathroom includes a claw-foot tub and shower. On the third level, there is a hidden playroom and cupola lookout. The double-depth attached garage accommodates up to four cars.
