Josh and Jackie live locally. Josh grew up coming to visit his Uncles place "Willoway" as a kid, and learned to swim in the pool there. When not hosting, they can be found reading books poolside, or planning their next off-the-map adventure.
Why they chose this property
Willoway has been in my family for over 60 years. As a child I did not appreciate how close yet isolated and private it was, nor did the distant Hudson view, or amazing sunsets impress me. Willoway is a place to sidle off to with friends and family to reconnect and have old fashioned fun; reading your own books (or one of many we have seeded throughout the house) around the pool or fireplace, playing one of the dozens of board games. Dining Al fresco, grilling poolside. This is low key luxury, it it is real - not ikea, like the authentic furniture and knick knacks collected over a lifetime. Come find the fascinating history that is part and parcel of Willoway. As one of our reviews noted, it is tended to by people who love it and want to share the place. A 45 minute gorgeous train ride from NYC brings you to a place that encourages you to take a time out from being a New Yorker, to enjoying New York. The lower Hudson River Valley has something for you year round. And Willoway can be your base.
What makes this property unique
Private 3+ acre house, with seasonally heated saltwater pool in a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and garden. Willoway is tucked back up in an area of Ossining that most natives have no idea exists. Yet it is a five minute drive from the major Croton-Harmon Metro-North and Amtrak station. There is an enormous amount of history to explore in the Hudson Valley, and NYC is a 45 minute express train ride away. Or you can just sit by the pool or in front of the fireplace and laze the day away playing one of our board games, or listening to a record.
