Property Description
Big white center-hall house, classic red barn, Hollywood-blue swimming pool, all perfectly sited on ten (9.69 if you're counting) mostly forested acres. The house was built in 1890 for modern comfort by a prominent farm family. Its original wood floors, doors and moldings are now amplified with custom plaster walls (not sheetrock!), premium wood windows, central air, a glamourous top floor atelier. Light and airy in feeling (there are 30 windows), the first floor offers kitchen, bath, dining room, the bay-windowed double parlor opening onto its own sweet porch. Upstairs are four bedrooms and full bath. Top floor is the grand surprise of approx. 820 sq. ft. studio for photography, music, exercise. Restored pre-1850 barn with electric boasts nearly new standing seam metal roof to protect its venerable timbers. At some point in the 1990s the Tiki bar was added as an accessory to the inviting 20 x 40 pool, now with new liner and high-efficiency pump. Overall, a solid canvas to create something even more special. 15 minutes to Hudson/Amtrak, 2 hours NYC
