This family home is only 10 minutes to Hudson's bars, restaurants and shops yet is a classic country retreat in a quiet bucolic setting. The roomy antique farmhouse offers plenty of space to gather and socialize or to spread out and enjoy peace and quiet: All rooms are well proportioned and airy. A gracious living room for before or after dinner entertaining, a comfy family room with smart TV, a cozy library filled with books, and a dining room with a large table for eight. The bedrooms, all upstairs, are bright and welcoming and the master has an ensuite bathroom with glassed shower. Two additional renovated full baths and one half bath well serve the other three bedrroms. The charm and early 1900's details, including unique pressed tin ceilings in each downstairs room, and tasteful contemporary and classic art on the walls combine to make this house unique and very livable. Outside, a 50X16 salt water pool set in perennial gardens, two patios (one with dining table and lights in the overhanging tree branches), a roofed front porch furnished with wicker seating area and a back deck with chairs and grill make it perfect for outdoor fun, dining and entertaining. In the cooler months a fire pit and Adirondack chairs beckon you beyond the patio. The idyllic location on a quiet country road boasts its own lavender field and woods to walk in. Walk or snowshoe through a field to the adjacent Churchtown Dairy to see the animals and taste 'the farm's artisinal cheese. Ideally located within ten minutes of farms, distillleries and breweries. . Amtrak is only 15 minutes away.
