Drawing inspiration from Brooklyn's rich architectural history, this unique and notable country house is illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and 12’+ high hand-hewn beamed ceilings. Constructed as a wedding gift in the 1840s, this reimagined farmhouse is ideally situated in the picturesque rolling hills of the Catskill Mountains on a 20+ acre parcel. The home is comprised of two bedrooms, an office space, and one and a half baths. 

The kitchen, living, dining area, and first-floor bedroom are seamlessly integrated, creating a curated flow in the home. The main floor presents a homey wood stove that accents the medley of wood and metal throughout, creating a peaceful backsplash for those cooler Upstate NY nights. The commercial-approved kitchen features butcher block countertops, island seating, and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs hosts a more intimate atmosphere with the graciously sized, primary bedroom, complete with an en-suite bathroom, a soothing sitting area for evening book reading, and incredible views of the mountains. 

The ambiance carries outside to the front porch where you can observe the wildlife frolicking among the lush, farmable pasture, with established heirloom apple trees, plum trees, and blueberry bushes, or swim in the shadow of the setting sun in the fully stocked pond. The old milk house can be converted into the perfect playhouse! The second field is perfect for constructing another residence and keeping the main house as a guest house or for rental income. The round-roof barn is equipped with electricity and provides ample storage and a 3-car garage. Offering a great deal of potential for an office, production studio, or adding income-producing living space in the loft area, the opportunities are endless.

The graceful yet rustic 1,500 sq ft residence hosts some of the area’s best unrivaled indoor and outdoor esthetics. This homestead is an extraordinary work of architecture and design for the discerning buyer that produces a quiet country getaway yet convenient to NYC, major transportation, and local shopping.
