The Daymark is running out of homes. The first condominium building set directly on the Hudson River within Edge-on-Hudson, the master-planned community in Sleepy Hollow just north of Manhattan, has sold 95 of its 100 residences, all of it before a furnished model home was even completed. Five homes remain.
What's left tells its own story about what buyers were chasing. Two are multi-level townhomes with private street-level entrances and stoops, the kind of ground-floor living usually associated with a brownstone rather than a condo building, including a two-bedroom-plus-den layout that pairs direct street access with multi-level living. The other three are expansive waterfront terrace residences, priced from $1.69 million, the building's most direct answer to why anyone would trade Manhattan for Westchester in the first place: private outdoor space with the river running past it. A fully furnished model residence has just opened to show the townhomes off in person. "The townhomes are a distinctive part of that vision, bringing the scale and rhythm of a traditional home into a waterfront condominium setting," said Jonathan Stein, Founder and Managing Director of PCD Development.
COOKFOX Architects designed the five-story building, and the firm's biophilic instincts show up in specifics rather than slogans. Insulated glass picture windows and nine-foot ceilings run through every living area, white oak floors carry herringbone accents at each entry, and custom kitchens run a Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance package with herringbone mosaic marble backsplashes and fully vented hoods, materials chosen to read as organic and tactile rather than showroom-cold. Balconies, terraces, patios, and loggias push those interiors outdoors and frame views of the river, the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse, and the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.
Outside, two waterfront courtyards designed by Future Green Studio hold a pool and sundeck, a hot tub, a fire pit, and space for al fresco dining, with a landscaped rooftop terrace above and more than 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail below, including Edge-on-Hudson's first waterfront restaurant. Indoors, residents get a double-height attended lobby, a screening room, a library with fireplace, a co-working lounge with a private meeting room, a river-facing fitness center by Aktiv, a pet spa, and a resident lounge with billiards, plus a daily shuttle to the Tarrytown Metro-North station during weekday commuter hours.
The Daymark and the broader Edge-on-Hudson community sit along a stretch of Hudson River shoreline that had been closed to the public for more than a century before this development reopened it, now threaded by a new waterfront promenade and more than 16 acres of parks that residents can walk to directly from their front door.
In just over a year of living residents and word-of-mouth sales, it went from newly opened to more than 95 percent sold, the kind of trajectory that tends to happen when a building delivers on the one thing renderings can't fully capture: what it actually feels like to live on the water.
