144 Route 292 Patterson, NY 12563

Millhouse is an impeccably crafted timber-frame home built into the stone foundation of an early 19th-century grain gristmill. A swiftly flowing, clear stream winds through delicate foliage past the main house and the studio, naturally bordering the property's lush one-and-a-half-acre grounds. The Home
The main house centers around the double-height great room with a wood-burning fireplace, framed by exquisite wood beams and lined with tall windows that flood the room with light. A sculptural plaster-finish staircase curves up to the second floor and holds an arched built-in niche with shelving. Off the great room is the kitchen, featuring entirely custom-built cabinetry and woodwork, with ample concealed pantry storage, a Bertazzoni range, an English-made Shaws sink, and exquisitely subtle Bianco Rhino marble countertops. A dining area with views out onto the back deck and gardens, multiple large storage closets, and a full bath with a large soaking tub and laundry complete the ground floor. Winding up the staircase to the second floor, you'll reach the wide landing, perfect for use as overflow living space or a media room. The guest bedroom is cozy and bright, and the primary suite is abundantly peaceful with idyllic, sweeping views of the property. The bathroom is carefully pared back in palette, with creamy-colored reclaimed French limestone floors, a Viola marble sink, and a handcrafted Moroccan Tadelakt wall and shower finish. The Studio
Down a stone path from the main house, overlooking the stream and the surrounding forests, is the studio, currently utilized as a creative space and guest house. It has a wraparound deck that makes it the perfect spot to relax during the summer months, and a powerful woodstove inside for the colder parts of the year. The Grounds Every inch of the 1.5-acre grounds has been cultivated for all-season enjoyment. The large back deck borders the stream, and its steps lead down to a pea-gravel fire pit area set within the extended stone foundation of the former gristmill. From there, the property stretches out to an extensive lawn, peppered with ancient trees, stone walls, and flowering bushes. A small walking trail leads you to the kitchen garden, with multiple wood-framed garden beds. Another lookout behind the studio and along the brook offers a perfect vantage point for the surrounding landscape. The stream, which follows the property's boundary, has multiple shallow pools for cooling off during the hot summer months. The Surroundings
Millhouse is located in a rural, verdant part of the lower Hudson Valley, near the New York/Connecticut border. Nearby towns include Brewster, Danbury, Carmel, and just a bit farther away, Beacon. The property is 3 minutes from Patterson's Metro-North station and just over an hour from New York City.
