The Simon Homestead was the home of famous Grandma Moses artist/painter Augusta Simon, is a pre-Civil War built by hand with thick wide plank floors, nice mahogany and brick architectural details, and has been lovingly renovated from 2005-2010, and it was gut-renovated to the studs in 1987, but keeping it's antique architectural features and beams. Everything from Roofs to furnace has been replaced with new systems and high insulation, and it is very fuel-efficient. There is a lovely Southern garden with organic vegetable patch, flowering dogwoods, rhodendrom and weeping purple cherry trees and 100yr. old maples. The yard is fully fenced with arbor. The location is IDEAL! Fantastic location to walk around and explore this Norman-Rockwellesque town and hop the train into the New York City for work, museums, theatre, dinner, etc...-- no need for a car!
