57 Cold Water Street

In the bucolic town of Hillsdale, the former Masonic Temple has been restored to its former glory and reimagined as an artist's live/work space. Zoned both commercial and residential, this striking brick estate offers endless possibilities for its next steward. Built c1928, it is hedged, gated, and exceptionally private, centrally sited in the charming village. Inside the space is ethereal and expansive, with 14ft tin ceilings and large, steel casement windows that flood the space with natural light and offer pastoral views of the surrounding hills. The majestic scale of the building is a delight to take in and can be attributed to its builders-- the Masons were known for building with mathematical precision, understanding geometry and the power of form and proportion. This is both a piece of history and an architectural paragon. Currently set up as an artist studio and spectacular private residence with a streamlined kitchen, two bedrooms with the possibility for more, and three baths with plenty of parking and room for a pool. An unparalleled lifetime opportunity, an aficionado's architectural design dream, this is a pristine and pure gem for the ages.
