Often sought and rarely found. At the end of a long private drive, and there you are, mesmerized by the perfect blending of an established farmhouse and a style that become a phenomenon of the late 1880’s, a style identified with the Catskill region and similar rural areas.
This home is deeply rooted in tradition yet strongly individual in spirit. Columns support a broad, welcoming verandah that shades the home from the sun in the day, yet lets you experience the softness of the summer moon. Set at a high elevation - not only for the views, but for those cooling summer breezes.
Beyond the traditional exterior is an open contemporary floor plan, creating a mood of relaxed formality. Entry is though an open foyer, with Colonial Revival columns, flanked by a large living room, with a dry laid-up stone fireplace. An exceedingly large state-of-the-art country kitchen and dining room is enhanced by top of the line cabinets, appliances, counter tops. and wainscoting.
The sleeping level is reached by an open stairway, the landing creating a large upper foyer that radiates to the master suite with full tile bath featuring a separate shower, and Jacuzzi bath. An inviting library/office with double French doors offers views of the undulating hills. There is a separate laundry area, plus 2 ample-sized guest bed rooms and full bath.
Amenities include a tiled mud room entry that leads to the oversized pantry and a half bath.
For the hobbyist, a full basement with radiant heat (also thoughout the entire living area).
Set in a sun drenched meadow with southern exposure, enhanced by ancient stone walls and the various speices of trees native to the area. Plus 2 car garage, with a large upper level for the artist.
All this on 18 +/- acres with timeless ere changing varieties of views of mountains, foliage and sky.
