Your perfect Upstate Country Home. One of the oldest Stone houses in the Hudson Valley built around 1720 as the Newkirk family summer house. This incredibly well-restored Dutch Colonial is a perfect mix of old world beauty with 21st-century amenities. A great, smart house, grand in scale, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on 10.5 acres was built in stages, the original part constructed of stone and, later, beautiful wood construction additions. The inviting living room with its deep set windows is anchored by an oversized heart-warming fireplace providing esthetic enjoyment and cozy warmth on cooler evenings. Across the wide center hall is a beautifully proportioned dining room easily allowing for large gatherings or casual buffets. The very heart of the home might well be the Chef's kitchen which boasts 2 stacked electric Thermador ovens, a 6-burner Thermador range top with a chrome water tap for filling large lobster or pasta pots without traveling, Thermador dishwasher and 4-zone refrigerator. The spacious island has an apron front farm sink, stunning chrome faucet and an instant hot water tap. All kitchen counter tops are custom white Italian marble. One of the most unique facts about this historic stone house with its 24-inch walls is its natural ability to keep cool in summer and hold heat in winter months. The well-landscaped and immaculate grounds feature a large culinary herb garden, lush formal perennial gardens, large fenced vegetable garden, adorable greenhouse. Sizable chicken coop allows you to have your own farm-fresh eggs. Enjoy private in-ground pool and terraced area with sweeping views across the expansive back lawn to the pond and mature trees. A screened 3-season porch with mahogany floors is accessed from the kitchen creating an incredible outdoor dining area. Other outdoor buildings were used as a sugar shack for maple syrup boiling, a tool shed, garden shed and antique ice house. This one-of-a-kind property includes a running brook just behind the tennis court. The attached 2-bedroom guest house is perfect for friends and family, completely private with its own front and back entrances. It can also be used as the perfect AirBNB (currently it is licensed and approved by the Town of Woodstock). Eight-year-old metal roof is a wonderful upgrade. Whole-house generator is a great addition. Walk-out basement offers immense storage possibility with a hobby area, refrigerator, freezer and an additional washer and dryer aside from the formal laundry room on the 2nd floor of the main house.
