A place of peace and refuge typifies this exquisite antique farmhouse set in the Hamlet of Elizaville amidst farmlands and on the banks of the Roeliff Jansen Kill. A perfect weekend or full-time residence, this property has been meticulously maintained and features a home with historic pedigree embracing contemporary features and beautiful exterior landscaping which includes many perennial flowers, ornamental shrubs, and a fenced-in garden for vegetables, herbs or flowers. The house was renovated to maintain original details, and the updated living areas include open concept spaces as well as generous storage and modern bathrooms. With lovely flow amongst the rooms, the first floor features a living room with a soaring double-height ceiling and a woodstove for chilly evenings. Also on this level is a formal, sunny dining room, a cozy den/library filled with built-in shelving for your book collection, and a spacious eat-in kitchen with an island and many built-in cabinets. Double glass doors lead out to a large wooden deck overlooking the sweeping lawn and perennial gardens with seasonal views of the river. The first floor also features a separate laundry/mudroom and full-bathroom with a modern steam shower. A beautiful antique railing guides you upstairs to the second floor. Highlights include a spacious primary suite with built-in seating overlooking the downstairs living area and a tiled bath with a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a hallway bathroom create plenty of privacy between sleeping areas. Next to the house is an antique two-story barn once a Grange Hall for the village. This structure boasts electric service and a new roof, and has potential for an art, woodworking or yoga studio, as well as being a great storage space for your vintage car collection or gardening equipment. A great summer property, a newly lined swimming pool and pool house with decking makes for a stellar entertaining area. To complete the picture, the river is steps away with private seating along the frontage and access to great trout fishing, canoeing or kayaking. Minutes from the Taconic State Parkway, and within a short drive from Tivoli, Germantown, Hudson or Rhinebeck this quintessential Hudson Valley property has something for everyone.
