Property Description
The sellers recently completed a 15-month restoration that honored the home's history while addressing every major system for peace of mind. Original wide-plank pine floors were carefully refinished, hand-hewn beams were exposed, and the farmhouse façade was preserved and repainted. At the same time, the structure was reinforced with steel beams, the foundation repaired, and modern upgrades added: spray-foam insulation, Marvin windows and sliding doors, Mitsubishi mini-split heating and cooling, brand-new electric and plumbing, and a new water tank, septic tank and leach field.
Inside, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout is light-filled and open, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The large living room flows into an airy kitchen with a tall, sloped ceiling and easy access to the outdoors. Throughout the home, natural light highlights the warmth of the original wood floors and exposed beams. A flexible fourth room provides space for an office, studio, or additional guests.
The primary bathroom includes a deep soaking tub tucked into a bright alcove with views of the surrounding fields, creating a private retreat within the home. Every detail reflects a balance of historic craftsmanship and modern functionality, making the property move-in ready for both full-time residents and those seeking a weekend escape.
A large classic barn on the property expands the possibilities. Its size and character offer flexibility for buyers to explore a variety of future options that suit their vision.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Clermont Field and Hettling Park, the farmhouse enjoys a unique sense of space and quiet that cannot be replaced. The location offers easy access to local farm stands, wineries, and cultural attractions like Bard College, while being close to Hudson's vibrant shops and restaurants and Rhinebeck's historic village center.
This is a rare opportunity to own a restored historic home that is both beautiful and practical—combining heritage, modern systems, and a setting that feels both private and connected to everything that makes the Hudson Valley special.
