Historic 1860 Farmhouse | Incredible Catskill Views & Bluestone Gardens

This quintessential 19th century four bedroom farmhouse with a classic front porch, on over an acre of land, boasts impressive Catskill Mountain and sunset views. Only minutes from Hudson, the house, built in 1860, and now beautifully restored with wood floors throughout, has an expansive great room that includes the kitchen, a living area and a banquette for casual dining. The center island has a convenient prep sink and a breakfast bar for more seating. The room is perfect for cooking and entertaining with space for everyone. A wood stove warms the room and radiant heated floors in the banquette area keep feet warm in winter. Maple wood counter tops with mahogany trim are throughout the kitchen, a classic porcelain farm sink overlooks the garden, a subway tile backsplash and a high performance six burner gas stove for discerning cooks. Glass doors open to the bluestone patio and gardens, easily combining inside and out. A convenient pantry and laundry room off the kitchen offers ample storage. A separate dining room has space for formal dining and on the other side of the hallway, the light filled living room has a wood stove. The original staircase leads to the second floor with four bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, an office nook, a private dressing room and a wonderful en suite bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower and clawfoot soaking tub with views of the garden. A loft area can be opened in the primary bedroom creating an additional private space. Outside, the gardens have been meticulously tended with raised beds for vegetables, perennial plantings, native species, stunning gabion stone walls and a built-in fire pit for chilly evenings. An important historic heritage sugar maple tree graces the fenced back yard along with black walnut trees, ornamental cherry, hydrangea, forsythia, magnolia, mulberry, white pines and a lovely orchard of apples and peaches. The front porch wraps around the house and provides the ideal spot for relaxing with a summer breeze and wonderful distant views of the Catskills and vibrant sunsets. A vintage garage has space above that could be work or creative space. A well-maintained house with a standing seam metal roof on the main part of the house, new asphalt shingled roofs, a Buderus boiler, a new hot water heater, a water filtration system and an automatic generator for summer or winter storms. A beautiful country home in an ideal location on the historic Old Post Road that linked NYC to Albany. A short drive to historic Kinderhook Village, Art OMI sculpture park, Chatham Village, farmstands, restaurants, shops, Hudson and Amtrak. Just over two hours to NYC.
