Step into a timeless blend of history and elegance with this remarkable 1800s Victorian Italianate estate, featuring an original section believed to date back to the 1700s. The front entrance welcomes you into a grand hall, where a magnificent walnut banister immediately showcases the home's exceptional craftsmanship and character. Throughout the home, impressively high ceilings enhance the sense of space and historic grandeur.
Designed with both beauty and function in mind, the home features a stately office with pocket doors opening to a cozy sitting room. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room through its own set of pocket doors, framed by intricately crafted woodwork that reflects the artistry of a bygone era.
Just off the kitchen, the original section of the home now serves as a study, centered around a striking, oversized wood-burning fireplace complete with a traditional cooking crane--a rare and authentic historical feature. Solid, wide-plank floors run throughout, tying each room together with warmth and continuity. A convenient first-floor laundry combined with a half bath adds modern practicality.
Upstairs, you'll find 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, offering ample space for family and guests.
Beyond the home, 116 picturesque acres stretch out toward the dramatic backdrop of the Helderberg Escarpment. Rich in history, the property is said to have been owned by brothers Matthias and Matthew Frederick, who purchased it in 1789 from Stephen Van Rensselaer; both brothers served in the Revolutionary War.
The land has been thoughtfully maintained as a hobby farm, ideal for growing hay or simply enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle. A small pond adds to the calming enjoyment of this unique property. The most recent owner, a master gardener and landscaper, has left a lasting legacy in the form of vibrant flower gardens & a carefully designed vegetable garden to be protected from wildlife.
