casa para comprar en Millbrook, Nova Iorque

Welcome to Southbrook. Your heart may skip a beat as you drive across a romantic stone bridge above a flowing stream on to this 26 acre property just like it did for the current owner almost 40 years ago. There is a 1/2 acre fully stocked Koi pond fed by 14 springs and views of the Shawangunk mountains from part of the property. The original one story section of the house was built in 1920 and housed livestock. The home was expanded in 1990 with a 2 story addition providing almost 5000 sq. ft. of comfortable living space. The first floor comprises a heated greenhouse, a hallway powder room, a living room with a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace and a wall of windows that drench the space with natural light bringing the outside in. French doors lead to a private patio for al fresco dining enjoyment. The open floor plan leads seamlessly into the kitchen complete with a large walk-in-pantry, access to the laundry room/mud room, a powder room and the 2 car garage. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck just off the kitchen and a view of the pond after clearing some bushes. Enter a large library off the living room and an additional open room flanked by lots of windows and natural light providing a great space for entertainment. The primary ensuite bedroom enjoys plenty of space and a cedar walk-in-closet. The second floor offers three good sized ensuite bedrooms. The large 1,000 sq.ft. barn, originally an agricultural barn, was converted in 1988 for a home business that has been successfully run for 35 years and is grandfathered for business use. A great opportunity to work from home and avoid a daily commute. The grounds have numerous stone walls, some of which need repair, perennials and mature trees. There is an ongoing display of flowers from March to September around the pond. For bird watchers, regular visitors include Osprey, River Hawks, Red Wing Black Birds, Herons and Kingfisher. A wonderful private setting, yet only minutes to the desirable Village of Millbrook and 3 miles to the Taconic State Parkway. The effort to make this home shine again is well worth it. Come and enjoy all that the wonderful Hudson Valley has to offer. 90 minutes to New York City. Sold as-is. Ref: 36112-414670
