Classic New England 1880's Farmhouse
Germantown, NY (Columbia County)
You'll never want to leave this completely restored and renovated 1880 farmhouse 2 hours from Manhattan. Beautifully redone with great attention to detail, all you need to do is bring your week-end bag and a book, sit on the back patio and enjoy the clean country air. The kitchen is spectacular, with jaw-dropping views of the Catskill Mountains, gorgeous light and a fantastic period woodstove w/bakers oven. The home has 3br/2.5ba, gracious FDR, LR, original moldings & hand-hewn beams, central air, radiant heating, a brand new standing seam metal roof and the list goes on and on. There is also a lovely spring fed pond as well as 3 red barns. Only 15 minutes from the Amtrak train, Bard College and close to both Hudson, Millbrook and Rhinebeck. 31 Acres total of ponds, streams & forest to explore.
The house is quiet. Be inspired by the classic colonial simplicity and warmth of the old woodstove (yes, you are welcome to use it!). Beautiful Clawfoot tub in master bath with incredible mountain views. Outdoor fire pit for s'moores and late night campfires. Truly a special space to relax.
Fabulous restaurants nearby in Red Hook (Max's BBQ) and Tivoli (Madalin's Table & Santa Fe). Numerous NYC-type restaurants in nearby Hudson, including the LARGEST antique shop on the east coast. Numerous cafes.
Includes wireless high speed internet and cable TV with DVD player.
Loads of property, 1800's History, Classic Farmhouse look, Barns, Ponds, quaint little town, absolutely amazing mountain views, etc. We took the best of the old and brought in the convieniences of the new (air conditioning, cooks kitchen, soybean-based foam insulation, etc)

Why the Owner Chose Germantown
This house had everything we were looking for: loads of property, 1800's History, Classic Farmhouse look, Barns, Ponds, quaint little town, absolutely amazing mountain views, etc. We took the best of the old and brought in the convieniences of the new (air conditioning, cooks kitchen, soybean-based foam insulation)
The Unique Benefits at this Farm house
Extremely comfortable. Since the house is entirely spray-foamed, it is extremely comfortable and cozy in the coldest winter days to the hottest summer nights. We love to turn the air off at night and open the windows and just keep cool by the breeze of the country air and the ceiling fans. I love watching the sunsets over the mountains and lighting a bonfire for smores at night off the back patio. Nothing else like it in the world!
