Historic charm defines this Victorian Gothic home perched on a rise at the front of 46+ bucolic acres along the Taconic Mountain range. You'll be greeted by the steeply pitched roof, ornate trim and Victorian-era windows. Upon entering you will be met by the open staircase with its curved rail and detailed balusters, the nearly nine-foot ceilings and the original wide-plank flooring. The tall four-over-four windows allow plenty of sunlight to fill the rooms with natural light and warmth. The slate-floored kitchen offers ample cabinetry as well as a small pantry and opens to a large dining room which features a wood stove and slate hearth. The sunny living room is perfect for entertaining and includes a bump-out of bay windows overlooking the gardens. The office/den is just off the kitchen and located at the front of the house. The mud room unites the one-car garage and kitchen and has its own wood stove. There's a bonus room above the garage. The beautiful screened porch is the perfect spot to curl up and read a book while sipping your morning coffee. The upstairs presents three nice-sized bedrooms, a spacious hallway with a sunny sitting area, a full bathroom with laundry and a linen room with a soaking tub. Outbuildings, extensive flower gardens, an in-ground pool, solar panels and a 3500-square foot organically managed vegetable garden add to the attractions. The Slate Valley Trails system includes a hiking trail on the property easily accessed from the backyard.!#!The listing broker's offer of compensation is made only to other real estate licensees who are participant members of the PrimeMLS.
