About This Home
Live your life in a beautiful historic home while you pay bills with an income producing rear wing! A 3 bedroom/2 1/2 bath home with impressive historic details awaits you. The rear wing has a private entrance, 1-2 bedroom, 1 bath space that you can rent. Blinkbonnie, Gaelic for ''A glimpse of beauty'', is a historically significant Hudson Valley property that sits on almost 5 acres with a beautiful view of the Catskill mountains...with sunsets! The home features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms.A large mid-19th c. barn with peg construction completes the picture. Originally part of the Van Rensselaer patroonship from the 17th c to the mid 19th c., the house was built Circa 1850 in the Greek Revival style. The property was aggrandized in 1915 by important Albany architect, Albert W. Fuller. (The original blueprints on linen still exist!). The owner at that time was a prominent Albany attorney, Frank Bixby Gilbert, who authored several books on New York State law (still in use today!) At that time, quarter sawn oak floors were added to the public rooms to reflect the prominence of the owner. A large dining room (with a butler floor call button that still exists!) was created to welcome fellow dignitaries.The New York State Historian, Dr. Albert D. Corey owned Blinkbonnie from 1944 to 1963. He played a significant role in preserving and advancing the historical legacy of the Empire State.Since 1972, the current owner has updated Blinkbonnie, keeping the historic charm intact, mindful of the original character.This historically significant property was listed on The National Register of Historic Places in 2000! (potential tax credits).Blinkbonnie ( Gaelic for ''good to the eyes or good view'') awaits her next steward.The layout is highly adaptable, with the rear wing offering a separate entrance, 1-2 Bedrooms & full bath.Two sets of French doors lead to a magical 3 season porch with limestone floors and amazing glass panels cut with a copper wheel. While a charming back porch calls you to read or nap. The sunny, south facing kitchen sports a copper sink with granite and soapstone countertops. The original wavy glass windows create a beautiful,subtle dance of fractured reflections as light passes through delicately bubbled and wrinkled glass. 2 original clawfoot tubs are perfect for a long soak.A large 19th c. barn with wood peg construction towards the back of the property awaits its next function....currently an antiques shop, it could be used for another business, display of an antique car collection, dance parties, etcBlinkbonnie has a private setting with mature flowering trees and perennials ...daffodils, lilacs, dogwood, ornamental cherry, peonies, iris, allium, rhododendrons, flocks, lilies, hosta, rose of sharon and hydrangeas. A morning walk on the property could reveal a view of the mist rising off the Hudson River with the Catskill mountains as a backdrop.A ''sweet spot'' location. 7 miles to Amtrak, 8 miles to Albany, 20 miles to the Albany International airport. Saratoga, Hudson andTanglewood are all less than 30 minutes away. 2 1/2 hours to Boston or New York City. 3 hrs to Montreal. East Greenbush Schools.
