Description
Surrounded by pastoral farmland along a quiet country road, this reimagined 1899 farmhouse retains a deep connection to the landscape it once anchored. The original farmhouse for the surrounding land, it offers countryside views of a pond and distant mountains, with the Taconic Parkway just minutes away.A bluestone porch wraps around the entire house, creating generous outdoor living space and a welcoming vantage point from which to watch the world go by. There is room for long summer dinners, gatherings with friends, and rocking chairs facing the fields-a setting with the quiet charm of an old film.Inside, original doors, window moldings, and the central staircase railing preserve the home's historic character, complemented by updated windows, a modern kitchen, and renovated bathrooms. Off the entry hall, the formal dining room flows into the kitchen with its center island; doors from both rooms open directly onto the porch for easy entertaining. Across the hall, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, where windows frame the surrounding farmland. Beyond, a cozy wood-paneled den with a woodstove and loft offers another inviting place to gather in winter. An adjoining office, library, or studio, a full bathroom, and a mudroom complete the first floor.Upstairs, three spacious, sunny bedrooms enjoy beautiful countryside views. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a generous overhead loft for storage, creative pursuits, or yoga, and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a large walk-in shower finished with custom tile work. A second full bathroom serves the additional bedrooms.Outside, the fenced grounds roll gently around the house, with multiple bluestone seating areas and ample space for a flower or vegetable garden. A breezeway connects the home to a barn with room for two cars, workspace, and a loft-an appealing resource for an artist, hobbyist, or car enthusiast. A generous driveway provides additional parking. Historic character, thoughtful updates, and an enduring pastoral setting give this home its distinctive appeal: a place to gather, create, and settle into the rhythms of country life. Minutes to Millbrook, Pleasant Valley and Poughkeepsie (Metro North and Amtrak) and less than 2 hours from NYC, this is the perfect full-time or weekend residence.
