Designer Nick Spain reimagined this early c1800 home, sited on the historic river road connecting Hudson and Stuyvesant. Formally known as The Garrett Stickles House, recalling the prominent family that built this historic home, a four year renovation under Spain's artful eye kept the fabulous original details intact-- its wideboard floors, leaded glass sidelights, and classic six-over-six windows, juxtaposing them with modern finishes like the floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the kitchen overlooking the pastoral yard, a large concrete sink basin in the master bath & a sleek woodstove tucked into an alcove in the dining room. The center hall residence is classic in its proportions and exciting in its design, you'll find a wood burning fireplace in the living room & a small office tucked into the back. There are two upstairs wings-- one houses a guest room and the other an additional bedroom and the primary suite. The bathroom is adorned with unlaquered brass fixtures from Waterworks, handmade tiles and a double vanity. The extensive renovation went well beyond aesthetics-- the chimneys were rebuilt, the roof, windows (top of the line Marvins) & septic are new, the electrical service upgraded and there is a full house generator. You're just 15m to Hudson proper and Amtrak, as well as the charming & historical village of Kinderhook. The Garrett Stickles House has been published in Wallpaper and Upstate House, it is a fully turn-key home that both design lovers and old house aficionados will enjoy. Just 2.5h north of NYC.
