Overview
A sprawling farmhouse set on ten acres with a pond and heated saltwater pool, perfectly situated in the Hudson Valley between Rhinebeck and Hudson. Set back from the road down a long, circular driveway, the home is framed by willow trees and blooming perennials, and the whimsical covered porch is reminiscent of iconic Southern architecture. Enter through a mudroom into a wide, gracious foyer where the original tin ceiling is still perfectly intact and painted a luminous glossy blue that sends natural light dancing about the space. A classic four-square configuration, you’ll find four rooms off of the central hall. The kitchen sits in the northeastern section of the south-facing home, it is designer renovated perfection with custom, inset cabinetry and a plate rack hung above the farmhouse sink that looks to be plucked right out of a Cotswolds cottage. You’ll find a Wolf range, loads of storage, integrated appliances and a large center island. The kitchen leads into the dining room where a Brooklyn artist has handprinted a mural to cover the walls and painted the ceiling a bright and unexpected pop of green. Across the central hall lies a light filled, large living room with build in cabinetry and a woodburning stove. This area leads into the study, painted a moody blue which contrasts beautifully with the bright home. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms. The primary suite features exposed beams on the ceiling and a wonderfully sizable walk-in closet. The ensuite primary bathroom has a soaking tub, a separate shower lined in handmade tiles, and jack-and-jill sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath off of the hallway, and another ensuite bedroom lies at the back of the house next to the laundry room. The magic is in the details here, with hardware from Waterworks, unlaquered brass light switches from Forbes and Lomax, and vintage lighting sourced primarily from Italy. Brand new mechanicals. Outside, a sundrenched backyard is the perfect backdrop for the heated, gunite, saltwater pool overlooking a beautiful pond. The ten acre parcel is private and wonderfully dynamic with lawn, woods and water. 2h to NYC and 15m to Amtrak and in the Red Hook school district, this house is pure Hudson Valley charm.
