Embrace life at Papillon, an architectural masterpiece by Christina Griffin in Hastings-on-Hudson, designed as a serene respite overlooking the majestic Hudson Valley. Spanning 3,358 square feet, this residence seamlessly integrates organic sensibilities with modern luxury, featuring a view-oriented open floor concept that invites the beauty of the river and surrounding woods into nearly every room. The interior celebrates natural materials with a golden-toned palette of oak, fir, and birch, anchored by a grand steel cable staircase with floating oak steps that lead to an art gallery landing. The heart of the home offers an open flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, where Pietra del Cardoso stone surfaces meet expansive vistas. This home provides 4 spacious bedrooms plus a versatile library/office (perfect as a 5th bedroom), including an airy, sanctuary-like primary suite that maximizes the transition between indoors and out, capturing sweeping seasonal river views. Outdoor living is an integral part of the design, with .25 acres of terraced rock gardens, perennial borders, and mature
landscape trees. Additional features include 2 full and 1 half baths, an attached 2-car garage, and an expansive high-ceilinged basement offering incredible potential for a recreation room, home gym, and secondary office. Papillon is more than a home—it is a harmonious retreat where architecture and nature coexist in perfect stillness.
