If you’ve been searching for a place that feels like an English garden retreat, this is it. From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense the peace. Stone walls gently embrace the home, perennial gardens surround you with fragrance and texture, and a classic wraparound porch welcomes you to slow down and stay a while. Inside, the home is a sanctuary of warmth and light. A cathedral-ceilinged great room anchors the space with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, creating a cozy yet open feel that flows into a formal dining room and an airy eat-in kitchen. Entertaining is effortless with multiple decks, a charming pergola, and a blue stone patio, all designed to celebrate outdoor living and garden views.

Clever details abound—from a laundry chute that adds everyday ease, to hardwood floors throughout that lend timeless elegance. Downstairs, discover an entertainer’s dream: soaring 10-foot ceilings, a stone-faced fireplace with wood burning stove, wet bar, and a large workshop ideal for creatives, collectors, or crafters. Ample storage ensures everything has its place. Whether you’re lounging in a hammock near the Wiccopee Reservoir, hiking the nearby trails of Clarence Fahnestock or Bear Mountain State Park, or simply sipping coffee with birdsong as your soundtrack, this home is designed to reconnect you with what matters most. Modern updates include: new roof, new 5-ton A/C unit, and a new above-ground oil tank—offering peace of mind along with tranquility. Located just 2 minutes to the Taconic, and convenient to train stations, NYC, Connecticut, and New Jersey—this is the rare kind of home that feels remote, yet keeps you connected. A full-time residence or weekend haven—your English garden dream awaits.
