Nothing says country living like an authentic, vintage farmhouse! This private country home is set on 6 beautiful acres, with a spring-fed pond, an active orchard of peach, plum, apple, and pear trees, amazing perennial gardens, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop. Built in 1803, the farmhouse hosts a country island kitchen with a breakfast nook and walk-in pantry, a formal dining room with a fireplace, and a large living room. This 2400sf home is bright and airy with spacious rooms, original hardwood floors, and fabulous period detail. Also on the property is an impressive circa 1800 dairy barn which has been tastefully converted to finished space that can be used as guest accommodations, office, or an artist studio. The current owner has successfully operated a popular host Airbnb in this space. A detached two-car garage with a hayloft is great space to store farm tools and vehicles. This welcoming home is located in Historic Hyde Park, home to the Culinary Institute of America (with 5 world-class restaurants), Franklin Roosevelt's home and Presidential Library, Eleanor Roosevelt's Vall-Kill, and one of Frederick Vanderbilt's amazing mansion/estates. Close to schools, shops, hospitals, Metro-North, and the Taconic Parkway. The charming villages of Millbrook, Red Hook, and historic Rhinebeck, N.Y., with their excellent shopping, farmer's markets, fine dining, and entertainment, are just a short drive away.
