74 Melville Rd Pleasant Valley, NY 12569

This stunning period colonial enjoys one of the most romantic settings ever. Lovely lawns and pasture views, with tall shade trees everywhere, on a very quiet country road makes this the perfect retreat. A converted barn recently used as an art studio, but with full bath can also accomadate guests. The charming one bedroom guest house is in mint condition and offers lovely floors throughout with a fireplace in the common room. The heated gunite pool is fenced, with a retractable cover. The tennis court needs resurfacing but the fencing is fine and is located across the lawn away from the main house. The location is excellent, convenient to great shopping for entertaining. Minutes to Millbrook, Hyde Park, Rhinebeck and Red Hook for fine dining and shopping. If it's horses, shooting sporting clay, biking, hiking, fishing, golfing, whatever, it is nearby. And the express train at Poughkeepsie can allow for long weekends and even the occasional weekday visit during the hot summer. Surrounded by a large estate there is the feeling that this property is very large indeed.
