Overview

Description

This historic house is a timeless beauty. Ice skate on the pond, garden in the greenhouse, and fish and swim in the creek, which borders the property on its south side. Looking for a meditative practice? Stroll the orchard, practice your art in one of the many outbuildings perfect for a studio, or read a book in your very own library. The kitchen, with its huge picture window, is always sunny, and the bedrooms are well-sized, each with their own view of lush garden beds, stone walls, gravel paths and hedges. Enjoy Old-World charm (wide floorboards; stacked-stone exterior; an enormous brick fireplace) while being comforted by modern luxuries (new windows; re-modeled bathrooms; and a kitchen with quartz countertops, a cast-iron sink, and deVOL fixtures). Come and enjoy the view - weeping willows, 300-year old maple trees, and other rare specimens abound. A rare Hudson Valley find, this home has to be seen to be understood.
