Mid-Century Glass House In Forest Setting With Hudson River Views + Private Fitness & Altitude Studio

This 4,000 sq ft mid-century modern home, designed by architect Norman Klein, is set within the forested hills of North Riverdale and offers sweeping views of the Hudson River. The property combines strong architectural character, natural surroundings, and close proximity to Manhattan, accessible within minutes via Metro-North. It is a versatile and visually striking location for film, television, and commercial productions. The main living space features soaring ceilings and expansive glass walls that bring in abundant natural light throughout the day. The room, nicknamed “The Church” for its scale and vertical presence, offers a dramatic interior environment with clean lines, strong geometry, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Light shifts throughout the day from soft morning tones to warm sunset light, creating a dynamic backdrop for a wide range of scenes. The home includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms, each designed with a clean, modern aesthetic. The master bathroom features heated floors and a direct view of a central maple tree that the home was built around, providing a unique natural focal point for interior shots. The open-concept kitchen offers generous workspace and a neutral layout that works well for filming, staging, or crew use. Outdoor areas include a private hot tub overlooking the Hudson River, with unobstructed sunset views and open sky exposure. The surrounding wooded property adds depth, texture, and privacy, with multiple natural vantage points. A standout feature of the property is a separate structure housing a private fitness and altitude training studio. The space includes a NordicTrack incline trainer capable of 40 percent incline, free weights, and resistance bands, and can simulate elevations up to 12,000 feet. This area is ideal for fitness content, branded campaigns, or performance-based shoots. Additional interior space includes a finished basement with a large screen TV, games, and laundry facilities, offering flexibility for staging, holding, or crew downtime. This property offers a rare combination of mid-century architecture, natural landscape, and specialized fitness features, creating a unique and adaptable setting for a wide range of productions.
