Sublimely set on 13 private acres, this timelessly elegant Federal/Greek Revival home is surrounded by the Rockefeller estate and land conservancy in one of the most picturesque areas in Columbia County. Built by Henry Walker in 1863 on land he purchased from the Livingstons, the historic estate once included the neighboring mill (which produced the first pancake in America). Enter through the stately side hall to the gracious, well-appointed interior that includes a spacious living room, library, formal dining room, kitchen, butler’s pantry, 2 large covered porches and 4 working fireplaces. The park-like grounds feature Catskill Mountain views, a heated swimming pool, a new fast-dry clay tennis court, gently rolling lawns, perennial beds, meadow paths and mature trees including magnolia and some of the oldest arborvitae in NY State. An exceptional sanctuary where the only sounds you hear are the birds and the water cascading over the waterfall at the old mill. Quiet, private, rare...perfect.
