1421 County Road 351, Rensselaerville, NY 12147

This 1825 small Greek Revival house in Rensselaerville was designed by acclaimed architect Ephraim Russ and is an extraordinary example of classical proportions on a reduced scale. Nestled in a bucolic setting with a babbling brook bisecting the open and wooded two-acre property.

The main room fronting the house is stunning in size and arrangement with windows on three sides and a period marble fireplace mantle perfectly situated at one end of this gracious space. The stair hall leads to the den with its own full bath and then to the separate dining room which faces the lovely rear garden terrace through French doors. The true eat-in kitchen is complete with a walk-in pantry/laundry and window seats with pleasant views of the rear garden and stream.

A separate garage with a studio is on the property and the entire package is wrapped like a gift with a glorious picket fence neatly surrounding this important historic property. Three hours from NYC.
4 Bed 3.5 Bath 2,000 Sq Ft 2.3 Ac.
