Authentic Dutch Colonial and Greek Revival Guest House Pair-up on Nine Acres in Village

Down a long maple-lined driveway, an early Kinderhook home has been given a new life as a private estate with many options for indoor and outdoor entertainment on almost nine acres. The main home boasts five beds and five baths, formal and informal dining areas, and a lower level rathskeller complete with a 250+ bottle wine room and kitchenette. The newly renovated Greek Revival 2BR/2BA pool house overlooks the sun-drenched 20’x40’ salt-water heated pool and has a shaded patio for al fresco dining. Back at the main house, the facade of this early 1700s home retains its historic charm with a Dutch door with a transom and paneled shutters for the 12 over 12 blown glass windows. The front entry area was updated with new plantings and hardscaping with the reclaimed brick walkways extending all around to the back of the house to the expansive terrace off the sunroom. The 500+ square foot patio area offers plenty of room for outdoor grilling, dining and room to lounge by an outdoor firepit — all overlooking a private duck pond and the distant view over the valley carved out by Kinderhook Creek. Inside you will find the original wide-board floors, hand-hewn beams, and other period details. Yet, you will also find today’s aesthetics and functionality throughout the bathrooms and kitchen. New or vintage refurbished fixtures adorn all five unique bathrooms and there’s even one with a steam shower. All HVAC systems as well as plumbing and wiring were upgraded for both buildings. A complete inventory of upgrades can be provided. Once you cross the centuries old threshold, you will pass through a gallery area and can head to one of the parlors off the main hallway or go straight to the atrium-like sunroom lined with sliders leading off to the patio. You can access the dining room from here as well as the kitchen with the original tile backsplash and cooking hearth which serves as a backdrop for the master chef appliances. Upstairs are five distinct bedrooms – all have plenty of natural light and floors with centuries of patina, but each have unique features and tell a different story. The estate’s location, only two blocks from the Village Square, is as special as the property. It partially abuts The School-Jack Shainman Gallery and is a short stroll to all the cultural events in this vibrant, historic village as well as the various shopping and dining venues. Come and picture yourself in this authentically Dutch property with historical significance and help write the next chapter of its long history.
