About This Home

As of August 2021

Beautiful Private Farmhouse On 3 acres with all the original character. Perfect getaway in the country only 25 mins to Aamtrak/ Albany & 35 mins to Saratoga. Beautiful wide Plank floors. Beautiful Master Bedroom w/ Fireplace. Just waiting for a new owners touch. Wonderful home for entertaining, beautiful side porch w/ flower & vegetable gardens. The Sherman family built this home in the 1770s; it was a traditional Colonial farm house. In the 1830s they added a large ‘Federal Revival’ front to the original. The addition was a splendid Greek Revival Federalist building with pilasters & entabulation including tri-gliths, dentils, and acropolis façade. About 1911 the original porch was replaced by an acropolis porch, creating the full Federalist Greek Transitional style. Large 2-3 car garage -- Excellent Condition, Custom Kitchen Feature
