This cheerful c. 1850 farmhouse captures the essence of Hudson Valley country living with a gracious wraparound porch, sweeping lawns, and classic barns. Filled with natural light, the house features high ceilings, original moldings, beautiful built-in cupboards and wood floors throughout. A traditional center hall opens to an expansive living room anchored by a Rumford-style fireplace, custom bookshelves, and charming window seat. The renovated kitchen and dining area create an inviting open-concept space ideal for everyday living and entertaining, featuring an Aga range and stainless steel appliances. The first-floor primary suite offers a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, radiant heat, and a generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, a second ensuite bedroom is joined by two additional bedrooms and a bright laundry room. The third floor provides flexible space for a studio, music room, office, or meditation retreat. Thoughtful updates include a practical mudroom with pantry, new furnace, central air, a B-Dry basement system, and a solar array. Vintage barns, including a handsome three-story Dutch barn, are surrounded by rolling lawns, mature trees, and old apple orchards. Complete with a potential hilltop building site, this property offers numerous possibilities for a small farm, a custom home, dedicated studio/workshop space and more. A private saltwater swimming pool, fenced garden, and an historic stone summer kitchen complete the over 18-acre property spanning two adjacent parcels. According to local historians, Meadow Brook Farm has only had seven owners since 1688 when King James the II gave Dutchman, Pieter Schuyler a patent for the property. With wide-open skies, timeless pastoral beauty, and exceptional space for gathering and retreat, this is a uniquely beautiful Hudson Valley offering.
