Historic West End Property on Market for $2.19 Million

A high-priced house currently on the market in New Castle's West End is a home located at 15 Hoags Cross Rd., according to AOL Real Estate reports.

The four-bed, five-bath single-family home is priced at $2,195,222 with Mark Seiden Real Estate. The house is located on a 6-acre historical estate, once home to Ira and George Gershwin. The house features a long, gated driveway with pillared entry on park-like property with a private lake, flowering gardens and rolling lawn. There is also a heated pool with a jacuzzi and waterfall.

According to an article in the Journal News, the owner of the home Mark Picucci told Karen Croke that before the Amsterdam family bought the property in the 1940s, Chumleigh Farm had some famous residents – brothers Ira and George Gershwin rented the property in 1927.

"After Amsterdam passed away in 1997, parts of the estate were sold off: Twenty acres went to Hudson Hills Golf Course — the 1st and 6th holes were once part of Chumleigh Farm — and the main house was torn down. It’s now a ball field for the town of New Castle," the article says. 

Outdoors there’s a 1,000-square-foot stone patio, a pool, spa and outdoor kitchen. Indoors the first floor features fieldstone fireplace and a stand-up bar, according to the article.
