Once the house's original kitchen, the newly renovated space is located in the back part of our historic Carpenter Gothic Victorian house at Sparrow House NY originally built in 1859 by Captain Leonard P. Clark. The studio has it's own private entrance with keyless lock and private exit into the yard. The studio comes with a custom-made Queen size Murphy bed, a kitchenette with induction cooking, griddle and dining area, a large bathroom with walk-in shower, and a mudroom with a separate exit to the enormous yard. The studio has another entrance separate from the main house with keyless keypad entry. Sparrow House was built by Captain L.P. Clark in the 1850s along with many of the surrounding cottages (and even a bowling alley!) along River Avenue. Captain Clark was a shipbuilder who built and rented schooners for guests summering in Cornwall-on-Hudson but he lived at Sparrow House with his wife and two daughters. Sparrow House now functions as a space for creative retreat, exploration and community. We host many writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers and nature-lovers; the serene landscape has been a repeated draw for many. The house and grounds is mysterious, romantic and full of character. The Nest was originally the home's main kitchen but was recently renovated in 2019 by custom builder/designer, Jon Beer, transforming it into the live-work space you see today. All the furniture in the space was specifically chosen to be moved around so each guest can create their own space suitable to their specific work and living needs. The space was designed as an artist's retreat for 1-2 guests; a quiet place to imagine and create. Original Victorian design meets all the modern amenities you could ask for. Please be respectful of our home and our belongings. A lot of time and effort has been made to restore this historic space and make it a comfortable. We hope to be able to share it for a long time! The Studio includes: - Modern, kitchenette with a deep, double sink ideal for washing paint brushes, induction cook plate, coffeemaker and mini-fridge. - Convertible table that can be adapted for 3 different sizes that can be moved anywhere in the space. Perfect for writing, painting or enjoying a meal. - Custom-made, Queen-sized Murphy bed that can stay up or down depending on preference. - Comfy seating area with shelf for storage. - Closet for hanging clothing/storing a suitcase. - Toiletries and fresh clean towels - Air conditioning in Spring, Summer and Fall. - Blazing-fast WIFI internet - Unbeatable river-front location, creating a nature-filled retreat, close to all the best spots in the area - Access to the enormous yard, gardens and fire pit - Farm-fresh eggs! - Touchpad smart lock for keyless entry and effortless check-in and coming-and-going Other things to note We do not make our other listing, Sparrow House, and the Nest Studio available to different guests on the same dates.
