c. 1820 Colonial Farmhouse

262 Cream St
Hyde Park, New York 12601

1820 Hudson Valley Federal Colonial

A former dairy farm provides the rare opportunity to own a piece of Dutchess County, New York, history. This Center-Hall, Federal Colonial Farmhouse, built circa 1820, is an outstanding example of early Greek Revival Architecture that has been lovingly restored and preserved for the ages. It has all the charm of a bygone era with all the modern amenities, making it the perfect place to spend your weekends--or an entire lifetime.

Offering both intimacy and grandeur, this home is breathtaking to all who enter. Original wood moulding, wide board floors and a working fireplace in the parlor make this home something out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

Graced with an exquisitely preserved, colonial kitchen, this home comes complete with exposed wooden beams, an open brick hearth and a Dutch door that leads to a screened side porch from which to enjoy mature trees and a beautiful landscape.

This unique home boasts an 18th Century Colonial Cage bar in its basement. Enjoy the revelry of 'The Tipsy Crow' with family and friends along with the fruits of a nearby wine cellar. A first-floor sitting room can be easily converted to a bedroom, allowing one to age in place with an adjoining bathroom, complete with an accessible shower.

A roaring creek cuts through the heart of this estate of nearly three acres while the home is mirrored by a pond of glass, filled with fish and surrounded by daffodils in the spring and dragon lilies in the summer. A slate and stone patio allow for full enjoyment of this stunning property at every angle.

The property boasts a pond house for enjoying placid views in the summer and 'Rose Cottage,' a sweet and charming abode where one can read a good book and escape the demands of the day. While away your summer evenings as you dine at the stone table amid an orchard of fruit trees -- while the youngsters toast marshmallows over the nearby firepit and prepare to spend the night in the custom-made treehouse, complete with a zipline.

A stately and expertly constructed two-car garage boasts a studio apartment above it--an ideal, creative workspace or an income-producing, living space for a caretaker, adult child, in-law or other lucky tenant.

Located in the heart of the historic Mid-Hudson Valley, this exceptional property is just minutes from Metro North and the Taconic State Parkway. Hyde Park's Vanderbilt Mansion, FDR Library and the Culinary Institute of America are just a few of the National treasures within reach of this extraordinary home.
