This spacious shingled residence is situated high on an open knoll, deep into the property, and is a home that will satisfy all looking for privacy and comfort. The house enjoys the loveliest of views. From the living room, dining room, and kitchen you will savor the vista across your own meadows and woodland to the hills and mountains beyond. It is not at all uncommon to see wild turkeys, whitetail deer, and red fox parading across the front lawn.
The house is a spacious 4746 square feet. The entrance hall opens to the large vaulted ceilinged living room with stone fireplace and a wall of windows capturing the view. It is a wonderful room in which to gather family and friends. The formal dining room opens to the wrap-around covered porch. The study has a two story brick fireplace and doors to the rear lawn. The country kitchen is splendid: a spacious room with fine cherry cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and sunny breakfast room. The master bedroom suite is located on the first floor and has a large elegant bath and walk-in closet. There are also a guest powder room, laundry room, and attached two car garage on this level.
On the second floor are two guest bedrooms each with private bath; an office that could easily become another bedroom; a gallery reading loft overlooking the living room; and an enormous family game room.
The full basement with a very high ceiling height could be finished off for an exercise room, movie theater room, etc, if desired.
The 39.37 acres of fenced meadows, lawn, and woodland have been placed in the Dutchess Land Conservancy to preserve open space for the community in perpetuity. Many neighborhood properties are also protected by the conservancy. New York State tax credits may accrue annually to the purchaser.
