Check out these shots of Wasington Irving's home, Sunnnyside ☀️🌿Irving's legend lives on at his quaint estate. Read more about the history behind the home and Irving himself from @sleepyhollowspellbound ... "So, I feel it’s important to share that while Washington Irving spent most of his adult life traveling, he was always nostalgic for his days spent in the Hudson River Valley. At 52, he decided to return and build his home Sunnyside in 1835. Irving designed the house himself. It is completely unique and based on his world travels, combining different architectural elements from all around the globe! When you visit Sunnyside you’ll notice the large Spanish tower, Italian roof, English chimneys, Dutch step gables and beautiful Italian piazza by the riverside. In addition all the vines were planted by Irving himself! You’ll see wisteria along the front and trumpet vibes along the side. This place really has a lot of warmth and charm."
