New York's iconic Pumpkin House has sold for $2 million after being on the market for more than two years.
The Hudson Heights home which sits perched perilously on a cliff edge overlooking the Hudson River, shines like a giant Jack O'Lantern when it is lit up at night and as the sun sets from New Jersey.
It was last bought by interior designer William Spink for $1.1 million in 2000 and he attempted to sell the property for $5.25 million in 2016. However, there were no takers after Spink set the asking price far too high.
Perched high atop the Hudson River lies the famed cliffside property known to many as 'The Pumpkin House
Exquisite detailing on marble mantles, original from the home's 1920s construction, is present in the main living room
Old world elegance, artistry and design are ever-present in this three-story home featuring magnificent Hudson River views
The home opens with a parlor floor, a 'sun-drenched' dining room with plenty of old-world charm
There are some lovely lush gardens encircling the property giving the new owner a true sense of privacy and seclusion
Built between the years of 1923 and 1925, the two-family home is perched over 250 feet above the Henry Hudson Parkway, standing three stories high and encompassing 3,144 square feet
The home, which has had only four owners since it was built in the 1920s, finally sold to its fifth owner on Thursday for $2 million after being listed by Sotheby's International Realty.

Built in 1925 for an engineer named Cleveland Walcutt, the three-story brick residence at 16 Chittenden Avevenu stands 250 feet above the Henry Hudson Parkway and it is visible from the George Washington Bridge.
A secret garden and architectural opulence are only some of the many fine features of this historic home.

There is plenty of room for books, ornaments and other trinkets in the home

Wood-paneled walls paired with the incredible views prove what a special place this home really is
The architectural gem dates back to the 1920's. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom brick home has a European grandeur of its own.
As the Wall Street Journal reported, the Pumpkin House was built in the 1920s 'on a steel foundation sunk into a steep cliff at West 186th Street' and was 'commissioned by Cleveland Walcutt, an engineer, on land purchased from the estate of James Gordon Bennett, the publisher of the New York Herald.'
Original details still remain including a massive marble mantel in the living room, and floor-to-ceiling window.
The 3,144-square-foot home opens with a parlor floor, a 'sun-drenched' dining room, a library and a renovated 'French country' kitchen.
A long living room, roof terrace and balcony looks out over the Manhattan skyline, the George Washington Bridge, the Palisades and the new Mario Cuomo Bridge.
The space also offers a separate one-bedroom apartment with spectacular views of the Hudson and the neighboring Palisades.
A two-car garage attached to the back of the home through a secluded garden offers private parking.
Plenty of natural light floods the living room of the home with stunning view of the river and the Manhattan skyline
A dining area offers plenty of space for guests to enjoy the home. Despite containing many objects, it doesn't feel cluttered

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
