Tucked away on private lane and bordering hundreds of acres of preserved land, this tastefully renovated 1840 farmhouse offers a perfect country escape with all the best Columbia County has to offer. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps up to 7 people, is loaded with character, and features original pine floors and trim, new bathrooms with dinner-plate-sized shower heads and marble floors, and a kitchen featuring Viking/Sub Zero appliances, with designer furnishings and high speed internet. The space The interior of the home is modern, understated and unexpectedly luxurious. This is our weekend home and we renovated it to have a quiet escape for ourselves. We are opening it up for rent after having shared it with friends and family and hope to find others who love it as much as we do. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you would ever need for a chef to cook a meal, including Jura and Ascaso espresso machines, Calphalon/Staub pots and pans, good wine glasses/dishes/flatware/bar accoutrements, etc. The ground floor has 9’ ceilings and contains a large Living Room with a decorative fireplace (not for use) and 55” TV, dining room, a 3-season screened-in porch (storm windows for the winter months), a large mudroom with LG washer and dryer, country kitchen and dinette, foyer, one bedroom, a full bathroom, and a 700-square foot bluestone terrace with teak furniture outside. Three additional bedrooms and two recently renovated bathrooms occupy the second floor. While well-behaved children and pets are welcome, this is not a party house. It’s the ideal place to escape to the country with a screened in porch, a good bathtub and light-filled rooms with high quality mattresses, too many coffee table books and designer furniture. Kitchen: Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking Range, Bosch dishwasher, Sub Zero wine refrigerator, high quality pans and dish ware, along with every cooking device, type of serve ware and appliance you could imagine, i.e. a citrus juicer, blenders, Dualit toaster, custom pizza stone for the oven, etc. For example, we are coffee fanatics, so we have a Chemix pour over, a French press, an Ascaso espresso machine, a Jura coffee/espresso machine, a Japanese kettle and iced coffee maker -- we like options! It’s these details that make staying at the home an enjoyable experience. Mudroom: slate floors with an LG Washer and Dryer, sink and a great space to store everything, along with anything you could want for the property: snow shoes, candles, bug spray, board games, Rowenta iron, etc. Terrace: Recently built a 700 square foot blue stone terrace with Barlow Tyrie teak furniture (table and living space) and gas Weber grill. We also have a great charcoal grill if you prefer to cook with that. We also just added a Yukon Solo Stove to allow for a bonfire without as much smoke that’s easy to manage. During the spring and summer, we spend most of our time on the screened-in porch that has three sun exposures and is fully weather protected (it’s enclosed with storm windows for Fall/Winter). 4 Bedrooms: 1.

Technology: We have been able to comfortably work from the house using the cell extender and high speed internet. High speed internet (fiber optic cable, 500 Mbps) and a cell phone booster. We can easily watch Netflix/Zoom/work from home and take calls. There’s also a new 55” 4k LG TV in the living room, record player, surround sound speakers, charging stations, etc. you can plug your iPhone into the TV to watch your own cable/apps, or use our own. Guest access Guests are welcome to use the entire house. We may lock the primary bedroom closets to store our own belongings. Other things to note Miscellaneous: • We have an incredible caretaker who cleans the home and manages anything associated with it, should you need anything during the stay, including snow removal and lawn care. • We have individual a/c units for the main rooms and bedrooms for the summer months. • While the fireplace is functioning, it’s finicky and easily back drafts into the living room, which can easily fill with smoke, so we are not allowing it for use during the stay; we are rebuilding that in the spring. We have only recently started renting the space, since we will not be able to spend as much time at the house as we would like. Please message me if you have any questions. This is a really special home and is perfectly located with great attractions in every direction.
