Available for the first time in 50-plus years, this iconic Hudson Valley home boasts extraordinary character and charm in the perfect setting -- a secluded 10-acre nook of ponds and woods just minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir. The house, a masterful blend of timeless farmhouse style, craftsmanship and luxury, is the polar opposite of cookie cutter, with classic window awnings, cedar shakes and locally quarried bluestone steps setting the gracious tone from the moment you pull up a long driveway and arrive at the wrap-around front porch. Inside, a cozy paneled keeping room with a pegged beam ceiling opens to a large and sunny living room and gourmet kitchen, bracketed on one side by an authentic working Rumford fireplace, and on the other by a dining room with a double-height wall of French doors and windows leading to a terraced bluestone patio and pool. Visually, the space opens up, from cozy to dramatic, in thoughtfully calibrated stages that call to mind a distinguished farm house being expanded and improved over many charmed decades of life. The ground floor also includes another beamed den with a double-height ceiling and woodstove, plus a full bathroom and laundry. A stunning open staircase, with a beautiful cherrywood banister milled on site, rises 3 stories to the 4 bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms upstairs, including a massive primary suite with an oversized bathroom with soaking tub. The other bedrooms, featuring pegged beam framing and dormer windows, are particularly charming. For overflow guests, there's also a separate 2-level guest house with bathroom, overlooking a spring-fed pond, with another larger pond sited just across the winding driveway. Located on one of the quietest and most sought-after roads in the Hudson Valley, the property feels wonderfully secluded, despite being minutes by bicycle from the reservoir and its popular hiking trails, 15 minutes by car from Woodstock and 2 hours from NYC.
