Dramatic, yet charming, elegant, but relaxed, these are all words that come to mind when you enter this stunningly renovated home. Originally the Amesville Schoolhouse or School #11, the structure dates from the early 1800’s. The great room with its soaring 24’ ceilings, large windows, exposed chestnut beams and local river-stone fireplace, was the original one room school and is now a dramatic living space. The current owner took the building down to its chestnut frame, adding new wiring, plumbing, a poured concrete under structure, new windows, mechanicals, roof and more, while retaining its historic charm. The large kitchen offers chef's quality appliances and a beautiful custom soapstone sink. There is a large laundry room/pantry off the kitchen along with a separate room for the all new systems, including radiant heat throughout the house. The ceilings in the rest of the house are 12’ and renewable bamboo flooring was used, no attention to detail was missed. There is a lovely guest room with a large bathroom that has one of the prettiest soaking tubs you will see. A den/T.V. room could be a third bedroom. The large master suite sits privately with a spa-like bath and wall of walk in closets. Open the windows to listen to the sound of a mountain brook near the house or the sound of the Great Falls, which you also see when the foliage is off the trees. Don’t miss out on this exceptional, unique property.

GREAT FALLS OVERLOOK - This historic 3-Bedroom, 3-Bath home was once the one-room schoolhouse in the Amesville section of Salisbury. A massive Great Room with fieldstone Fireplace, the original school house boasts oversized antique windows overlooking the Housatonic River Great Falls creating a grand gathering place in the heart of this home. 12-foot ceilings, antique glass window panes, and a spacious floorplan await your vision. A large Master Bedroom Suite is privately situated and includes a walk-in closet and private Bath.

A true community centerpiece, this home continues to bring together the hamlet of Amesville through class reunions and the annual tree lighting on the day after Thanksgiving. A Detached 2-car Garage, tool shed, and mature trees complement this property’s rich history. Conveniently located near the villages of Salisbury, Falls Village, and Millerton, NY. 10-minutes to local schools, including: Salisbury School, Hotchkiss, and Berkshire School.
