1281 Woods Road is a beautifully restored 1850 Greek Revival/Italianate estate set on over seven acres in Germantown, just half a mile from the village center. The 4,320-square-foot brick residence blends historic character with modern updates, featuring a chef's kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a double parlor with twin marble fireplaces, formal living and dining rooms, a library or office, a primary suite, four guest bedrooms, and a finished lower level with a media room. The grounds include manicured gardens, meadows, wooded trails, and a clematis-draped gazebo, creating a private, park-like setting.
The property also includes a restored historic schoolhouse, ideal as a studio or private office, along with a large barn suited for storage, a workshop, or event space. Located between Hudson and Rhinebeck, about two hours from New York City, this estate offers privacy and historic charm with easy access to Bard College, local wineries, and area farmers markets.
