Architecture Wednesday: Embury Stone House

Rooted in legacy, Embury Stone House is a 1930 historic retreat set on 12 private acres. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4,164 square feet of turnkey living space, and a heated pool, the property pairs comfort with pedigree. Designed by renowned architect Aymar Embury II, the stone landmark was built as part of former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.'s Fishkill Farms estate, and became a favored hunting retreat for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Hewn from stone quarried directly from the hillside, the home remains a masterwork of craft, with gables, soaring chimneys, and arched doorways that capture its storied past. Inside, original timber beams, mantels, and a grand stone fireplace anchor warm gathering spaces, while broad Tudor-style windows frame mountain and woodland views, and flood the home with light.

The modern kitchen, outfitted with Viking appliances, opens to one of many large stone patios for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A breakfast nook steps down to a first-floor guest bedroom or office with a half bath powder room. Off the kitchen a stairway leads to a sun-drenched gameroom.

Upstairs, three bedrooms span two floors, including a primary suite warmed by a stone fireplace, and a third-floor suite with a clawfoot tub, office, and an additional room. A flexible attic with a bathroom is not included in the square footage.

Outdoors, the property showcases extensive stonework amidst a landscape of rolling meadows, towering trees, and a meandering creek. The heated saltwater pool and spa create a summer centerpiece, alongside multiple terraced patios that invite alfresco dining surrounded by thousands of acres of protected wilderness.

A gated entrance, fencing, and thoughtful lighting enhance both privacy and peace of mind. With a successful history as a short-term rental, this property offers strong investment potential and lasting legacy. Though completely private, it is just 20 minutes from Beacon and Cold Spring's cultural centers, with direct access to major thoroughfares for an easy connection to New York City. With its rich history, timeless architecture, and turnkey comforts, Embury Stone House is a rare chance to own a piece of Hudson Valley History.

It sold last Fall for $1.5 million … which seems like a steal.

Know The Facts and ...

We are inching closer to the Midterms so here are some more reminders about what’s at stake in November …

The right is suddenly scared of Muslims in power?

Odd since not one of them spoke up when a Muslim nation gave Cankles a jet.

Odd since not one of them screamed when Cankles handed a Muslim nation training access to a military facility in Idaho.

But s Muslim Mayor??? A Muslim Senator???

Now it’s a crisis. Their outrage isn’t about faith, it’s plain bigotry.

 

Cankles was on Fox News with Eva Braun Laura Ingraham and basically admitted that the war timeline depends on whether or not the voters hurt his feeling in November.

Imagine telling military families that.

 

Wasn’t it odd Cankles didn’t go to Junior’s wedding?

Wasn’t it strange that Junior didn’t hold his ceremony at one of Daddy’s many golf resorts?

Isn’t it interesting that Junior’s most intimate and generous friends  are criminal oligarchs beholden to Vladimir Putin?

Nothing scandalous or criminal happening here at all.

 

Little Mike Johnson once again sent Congress home. One time it was to avoid a vote on the Epstein Scandal and this time it was to avoid a vote on impeaching DUI Hire Pete Hegseth.

Congress was at 190+ signatures of the 218 needed to impeach the Drunken Secretary of White Supremacy.

And the Little Johnson sent them all home instead of voting.

 

US gas stations are now running out of diesel thanks to Cankles illegitimate war.

Stations in Texas are now posting “OUT” on their diesel pumps and a station in Orlando has none to sell.

Stations in California have already posted “Out of Diesel” signs last weekend.

Is America Great Again yet?

 

If somehow a bunny made its way onto the White House lawn …

HHS director RFK Jr. would try to eat it.

FBI director Kash Patel would try to fuck it.

And Natalie Harp, the president’s mistress, would try to boil it.

 

In America, an 84-year-old senator got 92 days of paid recovery after 41 years of voting to make sure that new mothers get ZERO.

Sounds about white … and old man … and Republican.

 

Don't overthink this...

The Democratic nominees were already selected in the primaries.

Vote for Democrats in the Midterm Elections in November.

No skipping the election. No wasting votes on 3rd parties.

Let's get Republicans out of office.

 

The FDA just announced a recall of hand soap due to contamination with several types of Pseudomonades and Serratia bacteria which can cause serious infection.

Brands tied to recent and ongoing alerts include Assured, Blumen, DermaRite, KleenFoam, SofCare, Laura Lynn, and Intercon.

Infected soap. The regime’s removal of regulations has infected soap.

 

The Resistance at work … thousands of people, Democrat, Republican and Independent, formed a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protect the place that belongs to We The People and not Cankles.

This is how you protest.

 

The regime went from promising lower costs on Day One to begging for another chance to lower costs—that have skyrocketed—on Day 604.

You had your chance and chose to do nothing.

 

Before adjourning Congress … again … this time to stop a vote to impeach DUI Hire Pete Hegseth, Little Mike Johnson took to Twitter to say:

“House Republicans passed over 70 bills this week—that adds to our total of over 900 bills passed through the House so far this Congress. We’ve DELIVERED for Americans.”

Facts: the 119^th Congress was the least productive in history; no Congress has enacted less legislation or laws.

Little Mike Johnson has cancelled a total of 63 scheduled voting days  in the House, granting members an extra two months of paid time off  with no House votes scheduled until after the Midterms.

 

When a reporter told Cankles that China was the most repressive country on the planet his response was:

“Well I don’t know about that. I think we’re repressive also.”

He’s admitted to a repressive regime to act like America is Number One in repression because all he cares about is being Number One.

 

Lastly, here’s what happened at the recent GOP Midterm Convention:

Someone shouted “Shoot a candidate” while Ted Cruz spoke and he remained silent.

Cankles told the country to cheat on election day.

Cankles made the crowd swear allegiance to him.

Cankles said vote Republican or go to Hell.

JD Vance said immigrants are making America dirty … though I assume he didn’t mean his wife.

JD also insinuated a Democratic candidate was a pedophile but didn’t say which one; odd for a man sitting at the right hand of a pedophile and adjudicated rapist.

Ted Cruz condemned all Muslims.

That’s the GOP.
