Set on over three acres in scenic Croton-on-Hudson, this Mediterranean Tuscan villa has been known since its construction in 1930 as La Quercia - "The Oak." The property has a distinguished history, having been built for noted steel manufacturer and philanthropist W.R. Timken. Timken commissioned Owen Bonawit, the artist who designed the stained-glass windows at Yale, to design La Quercia's striking stained glass. Other details include sculptured artwork on the house's facade and stone fireplace, marble countertops in the custom kitchen, an original claw-foot tub and Venetian-plaster walls throughout. The grounds are equally impressive, with rolling lawns and wrought-iron fencing that surrounds both the rose garden and in-ground pool. La Quercia boasts modern amenities as well, including a new heating system and central air on the upper level. Whether you plan to make it your home or a summer getaway, you'll love this little slice of Tuscany just 45 minutes north of New York City.
