Property Description
This quintessential classic Greek Revival/Eyebrow home, circa 1850, is located in a historic quiet country Hamlet. Ready to move in, it is in great condition, meticulously maintained, and has much to offer with lots of natural light and charming layout. Entrance hall leads to the living room on the right, bedroom to the left, and straight ahead, the original Greek Revival stair to the second floor. The spacious living room has a period mantle and a cozy woodstove. At the rear, the newly renovated sunny eat-in kitchen has recently installed appliances, cabinets, and quartz countertops. The downstairs bedroom leads to a pleasant office space and to a full bath. The office also has a door to a delightful (unheated) garden tool shed which leads to the outside patio and gardens. Upstairs, are two bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a great studio or children's playroom in the finished attic wing. The almost one acre of property includes a vintage garage (with attractive roofline and shingles), stone patio, stone walls, mature trees, and paths bordered by beautiful perennial flowers and ferns. It backs up to woodlands and a monumental rock ridge on the adjacent property. Situated in the tiny historic Hamlet of Ancram, on the banks of the Roeliff Jansen Kill, where, according to Wikipedia, during the American Revolution, the "Livingston Forge," powered by the Roe Jan, produced "shot, cannonballs, and perhaps most importantly, the huge chain that was installed across the Hudson River at West Point as a defense against British ships going upriver." Today the vibrant Hamlet is home to Ancram Little Store (now a breakfast, lunch, and catering store), Simons General Store (now an artist studio), and Ancram Grange (now the Center for the Arts, an amazing performance venue). The home is centrally located between southern Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts, western Litchfield Hills in Connecticut, and, in New York, northern Dutchess County and southern Columbia County. New York City is about two hours by car or train (Metro North via Wassaic or Amtrak via Hudson)
