Kay Joshua Martin, ke lokal yo konnen kòm Kay Judy Tomkins, se yon egzanp eksepsyonèl kay an wòch ak planch ki fèt nan fen 18yèm syèk la ki te sansibman repare pa pwopriyetè aktyèl li yo. Li chita sou yon ti mont avèk vi sezonye sou Rivyè Hudson, nan yon peyizaj majik ak prive. Pwopriyete a sitiye nan katye Snedens Landing, yon distri istorik, sou yon wout etwat, ki vire, ki te fèt pou char ak chwal nan tan lontan, e ki fè pati Palisades, NY.

Kay la pare pou antre e li gen yon vibe etonan, konfòtab, ak anpil richès. Li se yon egzanp eksepsyonèl nan achitekti vernacular ki te bati nan Palisades pandan fen 18yèm syèk la, kòmansman 19yèm syèk la. Li gen travès ki fè a la men, yon mantèl chimni style Federal nan bibliyotèk la ak planch pin laj ki ansyen.

Kay la gen yon plan senp ak yon gwo galri/salon ki gen chimni ak pòt ki mennen nan pati wòch la ak jaden nan lakou dèyè a. Yon kwizin ansyen ak kontwòp konkrè, ti kaj ansyen, planch très laj e yon eskalye dèyè, ki fè fas a sid ak lwès pou limyè solèy la prèske tout jounen an. Yon bibliyotèk etonan ak travès ki fè a la men, planch laj, yon mantèl chimni style Federal ak yon fenèt ansyen ki gade deyò nan lakou a. Suite prensipal la sou nivo prensipal la ak aksè nan jaden an e li gen twazyèm chimni ki mache, beny, ak pwòp verand ki ekranize. Dezyèm etaj la ofri twa chanm ak twa beny adisyonèl.

Joshua Martin te bati kay la e li te viv ladan li pou prèske 60 ane, menm jan ak Judy Tomkins. Nan kontèks tradisyon Snedens lan ki gen yon asosiyasyon fò ak atizay, li vin yon dezyèm kay pou kèk nan figi ki pi enpòtan nan atizay kontanporen ameriken pandan Tomkins te posede li. Atravè galri Leo Castelli nan Manhattan kote li te ekspoze fotografi li yo ki te rekonèt, li te fè zanmi ak Jasper Johns ak Robert Rauschenberg, pami lòt yo, e pandan plis pase yon ka a yon ka, yo te rasanble nan pwopriyete sa a pou selebre Mèsi ak Pak nan "kay yo pi renmen sou Hudson" ak yon fanm yo te bay kredi pou enfluyans sou anpil nan lavi yo ak stil yo. Judy se te yon ekriven, ki te pibliye plizyè liv, yon fotogwaf trè talan, ki te ekspoze travay li nan anpil montre, e pita nan lavi, li te literalman ede chanje peyizaj Snedens Landing, li te vin tounen yon designer peyizaj dirijan nan zòn nan. Yon fanm remakab!

Falè Palisades yo ki monte wo bò Rivyè Hudson nò pon GW a, sou bò lwès li, fè yon gwo repo, jis sid Snedens Landing, e tè a desann bò rivyè a, ki se premye repo nan Palisades ki pwisan. Snedens Landing te kreye nan ane 1600 yo pa fanmi Snedens (ki te marye tou ak fanmi Dobbs), ki te dirije transpòtasyon bato atravè rivyè a pou Dobbs Ferry. 27yèm majò ki nan NYC, William Merritt, te posede yon pwopriyete nan tan sa a sou Hudson. Merritt te fè pati fanmi Dobbs, ki te premye dirije bato a atravè rivyè a, ki se pwobableman fason transpò Snedens Landing te kòmanse. Li te fonksyone jouk nan kòmansman ane 1940 yo. Gen 3,000 ak de tè pak ki aksesib soti nan Snedens Landing pou randone, mache ak jwi.

Kay Joshua Martin se yon ti mache ale Rivyè Hudson, kort tenis Snedens Landing, pak, Bibliyotèk Palisades, Sant Kominotè Palisades, Mache a ak transpò NYC ki nan distans mache. Snedens Landing se sèlman 25 minit soti nan Upper West Side ak 40 minit soti nan Tribeca. Li sanble ak santi li tankoukou, men li etone tou pre "vil la".

Rien pa konpare ak Snedens Landing.

The Joshua Martin House, locally known as the Judy Tomkins House, is an exemplary late 18th century stone and clapboard home that's been sensitively restored by its current owners. It sits on a knoll with seasonal views of the Hudson River, in a magnificent and private landscape. The property is located in the Snedens Landing neighborhood, a historic district, on a narrow, winding road, that was designed for carts and horses in the old days, and is part of Palisades, NY.
The home is turnkey and has such an amazing, comfortable vibe, and rich provenance. It's an excellent example of the vernacular architecture erected in Palisades during the late 18th, early 19th century. It features hand hewn beams, a Federal style fireplace mantel in the library and old wide board pine floors.
The house features a simple layout with a large gallery/living room with fireplace and doors that lead to the stone patio and garden in the rear yard. An old world eat in kitchen with concrete countertops, old fashion cupboards, super wide board floors and a back staircase, that faces south and west for sunlight almost all day long. An awesome library with hand hewn beams, wide board floors, a Federal style fireplace mantel and an old style window that looks out to the yard. The primary suite on the main level with access to the garden and features the third working fireplace, bath, and its own private screened in porch. The second floor offers an additional three bedrooms and three baths.
Joshua Martin built the house and lived in it for about 60 years as did Judy Tomkins. In keeping with the Snedens tradition of having a strong association with the arts, it became a second home to some of the most important figures of American contemporary art when Tomkins owned it. Through Leo Castelli’s gallery in Manhattan where she exhibited her acclaimed photographs, she befriended Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, among others, and for over a quarter of a century they gathered at this property to celebrate Thanksgiving and Easter in their “favorite house on the Hudson” with a woman they credited with influencing much of their life and style. Judy was a writer, having published several books, a very talented photographer, who exhibited her work in many shows, and later in life she literally helped change the landscape of Snedens Landing, becoming a leading landscape designer in the area. A remarkable woman!
The cliffs of the Palisades which rise high along the Hudson River north of the GW Bridge, on its west bank, suddenly break, just south of Snedens Landing, and the land goes down to the river, which is the first break in the mighty Palisades. Snedens Landing came about in the 1600s by the Snedens Family (who also married with the Dobbs family), who ran the ferry across the river to Dobbs Ferry. The 27th mayor of NYC, William Merritt, owned a property at this time on the Hudson. Merritt was part of the Dobbs family, who first ran the ferry across the river, which is probably how the Snedens Landing ferry first started. It ran until the early 1940s. There are 3,000 acres of parkland accessible from Snedens Landing for hiking, walking and enjoying.
The Joshua Martin House is a short walk to the Hudson River, The Snedens Landing tennis court, parklands, the Palisades Library, the Palisades Community Center, The Market and NYC transportation is within walking distance. Snedens Landing is only 25 minutes from the Upper West side and 40 minutes from Tribeca. It looks and feels like the county but it's amazingly close to "the city".
