In 1953, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner found this Springs farmhouse for their friend, the painter Nicolas Carone. Carone painted here for a decade, his wife Adele Bishop stenciled its walls and stairs, and Willem de Kooning later called it home for a year. Today the house pairs that history with updated, easy living. The living room centers on the original 1838 fireplace with its bread oven, under hand-hewn beams and over wide-plank floors. The dining room keeps its exposed posts and timber framing and looks out to the garden through paired windows. The kitchen and baths have been renovated in keeping with the house. The first-floor primary suite has French doors that open straight onto the lawn, and two more bedrooms sit upstairs, one with a window nook. Across the yard, the light-filled studio has its original herringbone brick floor, a skylight and cedar walls, ready for painting, writing, or a home office. Outside, cedar shingles and a blue Dutch door give way to a bluestone patio, a terrace for dining in the shade, a level lawn, mature trees, and an outdoor shower. A one-car garage and workshop complete the property. Recent updates include a new cedar roof, central air, a new well and septic system, and updated electric. In fall and winter, you can see through to Three Mile Harbor, and the bay beaches, marinas, and waterfront dining are minutes away.
