Charming renovated 1929 farmhouse located on an acre of unadulterated, chemical-free land with stunning views across the semi-rural road of an historic 200+ acre horse farm. The sunsets are amazing! There's a horse-riding stable right up the street & a small farm a few doors down that sells farm-fresh eggs from its free-range chickens. You can have chickens, too, if you like as there is a 50'X60' food garden area surrounded securely with a 6' deer fence, or you could use it as a dog run for your pooches. Add to that an enormous passive-solar designed garage, with sustainable Hardie Board siding and a metal roof, where you can keep your vehicles out of the weather & store various items on the second floor. In addition, you'll find a fully insulated & wired 8'X16' tool shed for your workshop plus, a pebble-floored greenhouse for your vegetable starts. Only organic fertilizers have been used in the gardens; there have been no synthetic chemicals used on the lawn or in the garden areas for over 40yrs. The yard boasts several gorgeous Northern Catalpa trees which explode in bloom every spring filling the air with their seductive fragrance. The landscape also features several hand-laid stone pathways, 2 hand-laid cement stone patios, numerous hand-built dry-stone walls, a holding pond & swale around the lower half acre, a native plant shade garden, native perennials & wildflowers & a small wetland which is home to frogs & nesting birds. The home's interior retains the original wood flooring, the original brick mantle, a custom-built kitchen replete with Mexican tile, bespoke Corian counters, a tin roof, a vented skylight, custom cabinetry & a half bath with a pull-chain lavatory. There are dimmer switches throughout. An efficient ceramic heater keeps the kitchen consistently warm & a pellet stove in the living room keeps the house comfy during the cooler months. Laundry and more storage under a pretty, solid granite counter is found in the mudroom entry off the back patio. There are 2BRs upstairs, the primary having an expansive W/I closet, multiple storage spaces & a full bath with tub/shower. A large roof window ensures that the morning light enlivens the main bedroom, a ductless mini-split system keeps the room comfortable. All windows are double-pane Andersen. A long-lasting rubber roof on the dormer provides weather proofing. The home also has redundant energy systems to keep the occupants comfortable in outages - a propane whole house generator switches on when power is out. Returning to the downstairs area, there is a flex room with electric baseboard heat. Built-in bookshelves make for a nice transition between this flex space & the living room. The original drywall cellar serves as a functional space containing the Navien on-demand propane water heater, the water conditioning equipment, a dehumidifier, sump pump & hinged plumbing wall panels. It also serves as a source of cooling air in summertime helping to modulate the downstairs temperature. Located a 1/2 mile from the Dutchess Rail Trail, 10 mins TSP, 15 mins Rte 9 & 20 mins i84. Take a late-night walk and you'll be treated to skies dark enough to observe dozens of constellations, a rarity in our over-lit world. You'll also be serenaded by the chorus of frogs living in the neighbor's large pond across the way, another experience to treasure. This is a special place!
