Available for the first time in 25 years, this 1848 farmhouse is a rarity. Set back from the road on 4.47 acres, this country property includes a main barn/garage with hand-hewn beams and hayloft, a goat barn, two large chicken coops, and a tractor shed. Mature plantings abound, with flowering trees and perennials throughout, and a 603 sq ft organic garden with 13 raised beds.
The home offers 2,411 sq ft of living space, with original wide-plank wood floors, exposed beams, and updated kitchen and baths, striking the right balance between old-world character and modern comfort. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 updated full baths. It features a bright living room with a fireplace and wood-burning stove insert, a formal dining room, a kitchen with beautiful mahogany countertops, a large family room, laundry room, and pantry. The spacious primary bedroom has cathedral ceilings and exposed beams.
The house has ample storage with a walk-up attic over the addition and an unfinished full basement. There is truly a place for everything.
The grounds are superb and the home's improvements have been significant.
Since 2018, the owners have thoughtfully and consistently invested: new roofs on the house and large barn, all new windows (26) throughout, a freshly painted barn with new gutters and new garage doors.
The interior basement walls have been re-pointed and painted, new stairs have been concreted in and a new Bilco door, a custom insulated door, eco-friendly spray foam insulation on the rim joists, and a vapor barrier under the bedroom/office. The exterior of the foundation has been re-pointed and clad with real stone. A significant nod to the future, fossil fuels have been completely removed, replaced by six of the modern high-efficiency Mitsubishi air-to-air heat pumps and mini splits.
A property like this, with so much history and so many recent improvements, does not come along often. Located with easy access to the Taconic Parkway and Poughkeepsie Metro-North station, and minutes from Vassar College, Marist College, Culinary Institute of America, the setting is as convenient as it is beautiful. A must-see to fully appreciate all this property has to offer. Please see Floor Plans and 3D Virtual Tour.
