Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space as if in the English Countryside, all under two hours from NYC & under 3 hours from Boston.

The Space:
Seemingly plucked from the English countryside, Meeker Hill House is a charming escape just 90 minutes from NYC. With stunning gardens, open meadows with views, and stylish interiors, this comfortable home is the ideal gathering space year-round, but especially so in the warmer months with the pool open!

Pulling into the driveway which wraps around a charming Japanese maple tree, enter through the unique and stunning cast-iron doors into the primary living floor. The entire floor has lovely detailing like exposed beams and original fireplaces, and has great flow from room to room and is flooded with natural light. Cozy up in the inviting living room beside the grand stone fireplace. The open flow lets into the dining room set beside bay windows overlooking the meadow. Between both rooms is a stunning paneled french door with even better views of the stone patio and backyard (more on that in a moment).

The chef’s kitchen has a massive 10-foot island, perfect for joining the cook for an unforgettable time in this adorable kitchen with skylights and country charm with top-of-the-line appliances. Finishing off the main living level is a powder room just off the kitchen and a mudroom with an alcove desk for some work-from-home needs if you must.

The second level has three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The primary suite is an expansive room with a king-sized bed and charming details like a stone fireplace and picture windows with lovely sunrise views over the yard. In the primary bedroom is a stunning full bathroom with duel sinks, a rain-shower, and a clawfoot tub. Adjacent to the bathroom is a full walk in closet. A twin bed has been added to the walk-in closet, creating the perfect sleeping space for parents with little ones, allowing them to stay close.

The other two bedrooms are both queen-sized beds with warm and soothing palettes, each has their own full en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Rounding out the upper floor is full laundry room.

Outdoors is where the true fun begins in warmer weather. The expansive flagstone patio overlooks the gunite pool and can easily entertain your entire group with lounge chairs and outdoor dining beside a bbq. A cozy screened-in porch off the living room is also a lovely place to relax under some shade to read a book or even get some work done to the sounds of chirping birds. Stepping down from the patio is the aforementioned pool, a true stunner with acres of meadow views and absolute privacy. Swim amongst the gardens as if you are transported to the fields of England. Enjoy the walking trails in the yard with a firepit at the far end, star gaze while roasting marshmallows, a true country experience!

Being 90 minutes from NYC, Meeker Hill is the perfect summer getaway or home base with the ability to commute back to the city seamlessly. The surrounding town of Redding is equally as charming, and surprisingly has the best bagel place in the tri-state area!

Getting Around:
Meeker Hill House is less than 90 minutes from New York City and under 3 hours from Boston, and while you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area, there is also a Metro-North station in Redding just 15 minutes away. In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.

Other Things to Note:
* Please note that the pool is available during the summer season only. Please inquire regarding opening and closing dates.
