Set amidst 10 acres of lush fields with breathtaking views of the Catskill Mountains, this beautifully renovated 1744 Dutch Colonial blends historic charm with modern convenience, featuring a spacious 3.5-bedroom, 2-bathroom center hall home with stunning hand-hewn beams, wide-board floors, and a seamless integration of modern technology. A ground-based solar array offers significant savings on electric bills, paired with a Powerwall automatic battery backup to ensure reliability during power outages. Two Level 2 EV chargers are also included for electric or hybrid vehicles. The entire home is heated and cooled by new Mitsubishi heat pumps with individual thermostats for each room, while a traditional furnace and radiators remain in place for added comfort. The fully renovated kitchen boasts new Anderson casement windows, custom cabinetry, and a cozy, high-efficiency woodstove. The living spaces exude old-world charm, with built-in bookshelves and a full bath on the main floor, bathed in natural light. Upstairs, the renovated bath includes a luxurious 6-foot Kohler heated jet tub and vintage Fornesetti wallpaper. Exterior upgrades include new soffits, gutters, fireproof Hardie Board siding (no painting required), and a custom artisan-built standing seam metal roof with a copper Yankee gutter. A wrap-around screened porch provides a peaceful spot to dine, entertain, and enjoy the perennial gardens, with both sunrise and sunset views. The home is also equipped with a French drain system, sump pump, stone foundation, and high-quality insulation for long-term comfort and efficiency. The remarkable 3-story barn is a standout feature, showcasing hand-hewn beams throughout. It includes new 200-amp service, buried power lines, and a separate studio space with two stories of windows and a loft, ideal for artists or as an additional seasonal living area. The property also features a spring-fed pond. Located just minutes from Greig Farm, Bard College, the Hudson River, and Clermont State Park, as well as Germantown, Tivoli, and Red Hook with their excellent dining options.
