Einfamilienhaus In Red Hook

A c1865 Italianate farmhouse set back from the road under mature willows and maples, with the arched dormer, bracketed eaves, and double-leaf paneled front door that mark the period. The house has been kept close to original -- wide pine plank floors throughout, tall windows, a carved wood mantel with a green marble surround in the living room -- while the systems underneath it have been fully updated. Main level- Double front doors open to a side stair entry hall with original pine flooring and mud room space for your jackets and shoes. The living room holds a bay window, a period mantel, and leads through to a green-walled study with a sitting area and desk. The kitchen and dining room are the result of a recent addition. The kitchen features black cabinetry, brass hardware, butcher block counters, and a zellige tile backsplash and range hood; a wall of windows over the sink looks out to the willows. A blue-walled family room and adjoining dining area spills out to the back patio for easy gathering and entertaining. A full bath with laundry and main floor bedroom complete the level. Upper levels- The second floor has 2 bedrooms, one beautifully appointed at the front of the house, with a full hall bath. The primary suite is anchored by a wall of built-in bookshelves, has a large closet and en suite bath. A finished third-floor room under the eaves, lit by a skylight, works as a sleeping loft or playroom and includes a full bath. Grounds A deep, tree-lined lot with mature plantings, a boxwood-edged path to an in-ground salt water pool with a stone patio, bordered by perennial beds. There is a small accessory dwelling for an office, art studio or yoga room. Location On County Route 19 in the Town of Clermont, Columbia County -- between Red Hook and Hudson, with easy access to the Taconic State Parkway and the Amtrak stations in Rhinecliff and Hudson.
