Property Details

Overview

As one of the oldest houses on record in the village of Philmont, this stunning c1815 eyebrow Colonial sits on a beautiful acre of land. Painted the perfect shade of creamy white, brick chimneys line the north and south side of the home and rhododendrons line the front facade. Greek keys, a unique architectural detail, frame the eyebrow windows on the second floor. Inside, the house has been beautifully restored. The original wideboard plank floors, twelve-over-six windows, and three fireplaces all remain in tact. The two public rooms at the front of the home are mirror images, each perfectly proportioned and centered around a fireplace. The dining room has a Dutch door leading outside, and in the kitchen you’ll find Delft tiles and a farmhouse sink, wood counters and open shelving. Upstairs there are two wings. The back wing is the primary suite, large and private with a separate, back stairwell. The primary bath has a pedestal soaking tub with gorgeous nickel hardware and an antique pedestal sink. At the front of the house there are two guest bedrooms and a generous landing, currently used as a whimsical playroom. The house is downright charming, a quintessential, historic Hudson Valley home just 15m to Hudson/Amtrak and 2.5h to NYC.
