A rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Cornwall history. Just fifty miles north of New York City, this four bedroom cedar and stone home, with breathtaking views and sunsets, was built in 1910 by James Jewett Stillman, a prominent financier and one of the most significant figures in Cornwall’s storied past. Stillman’s influence helped shape the character of the Hudson Highlands, and his family legacy remains deeply woven into the history of Cornwall and nearby Black Rock Forest. Set on three lush acres with thirty mile views of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley, the home offers an extraordinary blend of history, privacy, and convenience. A gracious wraparound porch overlooks mature apple trees, gardens, a barn, an in-ground saltwater pool, hot tub, and cold plunge, all while being walkable to the heart of town. Passionately restored, the home beautifully balances turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with modern comfort and function. Custom cherrywood cabinetry, granite countertops, energy-efficient Pella windows and doors, two ovens, two dishwashers, and bedroom-level laundry bring everyday ease to this historic residence. At the same time, original architectural details - including the Dutch front door, Douglas fir floors, nine-foot ceilings,wainscoting,and servants’ staircase - preserve the warmth ,character ,and authenticity of its 1910 origins. A truly special offering,this home is not simply a place to live,but a chance to become part of Cornwall’s enduring story.

Almost 40 years ago, Marsha Rand founded a small one-office real estate brokerage on Main Street in a tiny suburb of New York City. Today, Howard Hanna | Rand Realty is the largest family-owned and-operated brokerage in the northern and western suburbs of Manhattan: Bronx County, Westchester County, the Hudson Valley (Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess), and Northern New Jersey (Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Sussex, and Essex.)
The company is still managed by Marsha and her sons: Matt Rand, with almost 25 years of experience, operates as the head of brokerage operations; Dan Rand, a graduate of the NYU Schack Institute, manages the Hudson United Home Services family of companies; and Joe Rand, the author of two influential books on real estate, runs the company’s innovative educational programs.
After years of running as a franchised operation, Rand Realty became a proud part of the Howard Hanna company in 2020, joining the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. We are delighted to be part of the network, and look forward to providing our partners with the same exceptional service we have always provided from our professional relocation department.
