Surrounded by pastoral farmland along a quiet country road, this reimagined 1899 farmhouse retains a deep connection to the landscape it once anchored. The original farmhouse for the surrounding land, it offers countryside views of a pond and distant mountains, with the Taconic Parkway just minutes away.
A bluestone porch wraps around the entire house, creating generous outdoor living space and a welcoming vantage point from which to watch the world go by. There is room for long summer dinners, gatherings with friends, and rocking chairs facing the fields—a setting with the quiet charm of an old film.
Inside, original doors, window moldings, and the central staircase railing preserve the home’s historic character, complemented by updated windows, a modern kitchen, and renovated bathrooms. Off the entry hall, the formal dining room flows into the kitchen with its center island; doors from both rooms open directly onto the porch for easy entertaining. Across the hall, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, where windows frame the surrounding farmland. Beyond, a cozy wood-paneled den with a woodstove and loft offers another inviting place to gather in winter. An adjoining office, library, or studio, a full bathroom, and a mudroom complete the first floor.
Upstairs, three spacious, sunny bedrooms enjoy beautiful countryside views. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a generous overhead loft for storage, creative pursuits, or yoga, and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a large walk-in shower finished with custom tile work. A second full bathroom serves the additional bedrooms.
Outside, the fenced grounds roll gently around the house, with multiple bluestone seating areas and ample space for a flower or vegetable garden. A breezeway connects the home to a barn with room for two cars, workspace, and a loft—an appealing resource for an artist, hobbyist, or car enthusiast. A generous driveway provides additional parking. Historic character, thoughtful updates, and an enduring pastoral setting give this home its distinctive appeal: a place to gather, create, and settle into the rhythms of country life. Minutes to Millbrook, Pleasant Valley and Poughkeepsie (Metro North and Amtrak) and less than 2 hours from NYC, this is the perfect full-time or weekend residence.
