Actress Scarlett Johansson has been filming movies nonstop lately, from comedies like Rough Night to Marvel’s action-packed Avengers franchise, so it’s no surprise that when it came time to drop millions on a new abode, she went for something secluded and surrounded by nature. Perfectly located just an hour away from New York City, her riverfront house in Snedens Landing is an ideal getaway.According to the NY Post, the deal closed last week for $4 million. Forbes recently dubbed Johansson “the world’s highest paid actress,” but this splurge is modest compared to what some celebrities are paying for properties. Nearby, a Nyack home once owned by Helen Hayes is up for sale should the actress decide to keep expanding her real estate portfolio.Architect Eric Gugler, who is most famous for designing the Oval Office, designed Johansson’s 4,000-square-foot residence in 1953. The ivy-covered, Colonial façade is charming from the moment you pull into the driveway, and the airy rooms that wait inside soon bring a further sense of calm. Situated on almost an acre of land, the house offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool, and tons of natural light.Richard Ellis of Sotheby’s International Realty had the special listing.
