Property Description
This classically beautiful antique farmhouse has undergone an extensive top-to-bottom renovation spanning three floors. Sited on over 12 acres on a quiet country road amongst the farms and fields of beautiful Germantown, New York, it is surrounded by a meadow of ever changing colors and perched above a magnificent pond with a swimming dock. You feel a world away yet you're within close reach to town centers such as Hudson, Red Hook, Tivoli and Rhinebeck. Originally built in 1840, an extensive two year renovation was completed in 2024 to fully modernize the home while retaining the comfort and charm of an old farmhouse. The original stone foundation was removed and replaced with poured concrete, creating a large, modern lower level walkout with multiple French doors and expanded high ceilings, with plumbing and electrical for a summer kitchen, perfect for entertaining. The original fieldstone foundation was repurposed to create beautiful stone walls and walkways alongside the house. Inside, you'll find five new beautiful baths, a stunning large new kitchen that opens to a deck with Catskill views, all new windows, new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The roof was removed, reframed and replaced to create five beautiful airy bedrooms on the second floor, with vaulted ceilings not typically found in a farmhouse -- not a stone went unturned. You have the perfect balance of an open layout and private quarters-- with bedrooms for everyone and multiple seating areas there is plenty of room to congregate or to retreat to a quiet corner of the house. This is an incredible value in Germantown, perfect to move right in, with extensive land and possibilities to further add to this dream property. A woodburning fireplace and a screened in porch offer cozy options for every season-- it is a house built for play and entertaining in the bucolic rolling hills of the Hudson Valley. Just 15m to Amtrak in Hudson and Rhinebeck and 2.5h to NYC.
