Sylvester Stallone and later Vogue food columnist and cookbook author Barbara Kafka once called this sun-filled modernist house in Upstate New York home. Now, it’s available for $4.3 million. Located at 40 High Ridge Road in Garrison, New York, the flat-roofed home was built in 1969 and recently underwent a gut renovation by Brooklyn-based design firm Madderlake.
Stallone owned the river-view residence in the late 1980s, and Kafka purchased it in 1999, residing there until 2015. The current owner, Shea Spencer, founder of the management agency Artist Commissions, rents out the property for photoshoots with major brands like Marc Jacobs and Bergdorf Goodman.
The 7,000-square-foot home sits on a grassy hill, offering stunning 180-degree views of the Hudson River and Hudson Valley landscape. Despite its age, the home has been transformed into a minimalist haven with neutral colors and natural materials that highlight the breathtaking views. Every room features oversized windows or sliding glass doors that flood the interiors with natural light and connect seamlessly with the lush surroundings.
The great room, with its dining area and fireside lounge, opens to a wraparound terrace. The chef’s kitchen boasts flame maple cabinetry, butcher block counters, and a vintage farmhouse-style sink, complemented by state-of-the-art appliances and an oculus skylight. The primary suite includes a private terrace overlooking the river, and the lower level features a media room, sauna, spa-inspired bathroom, and flexible space for a gym or studio.
Outside, the property offers expansive lawn areas, a Zen-inspired garden, and terraces perfect for enjoying epic sunsets year-round.
