98 Albany Ave Kinderhook, NY 12106

This c1789 Centerhall is a gorgeous example of an Adam style Federal, developed to bring a lighter and more elegant feel to the Georgian architecture of previous eras. The design moved away from the strict mathematical proportions previously found in Georgian rooms, and introduced curved walls and striking color schemes. The current designer-owners of the home have breathed new life into this neoclassic style, with a striking mix of color and form. It is increasingly rare to find a traditional Hudson Valley farmhouse that is still so true to its original design with charming six-over-six handblown glass windows, a thin, curved banister with wonderfully simple balustrades, three working fireplaces and several more decorative mantels. These historic elements are playfully paired with contemporary design finishes the kitchen has been decked out with a 5ft black Aga range of our dreams and Belgian Terracotta Cle Tile floors. You'll find an extensive amount of custom cabinetry including a bar with under counter refrigerator drawers and a wine cooler, a 36'' Thermador fridge and separate 24'' freezer, both integrated to seamlessly look like cabinetry. The front formal rooms are of classic, pleasing proportions and both feature wood burning fireplaces. A rear addition makes a wonderful media room with a third fireplace and an incredible screened in porch off the side. Walls of windows look out over the 15x60 gunite heated pool and treelined acreage. You'll find three ensuite bedrooms each with walk-in closets, and a guest wing with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The original, stately farmhouse is surrounded by Samascott Orchards, a lovely neighbor both in appearance and demeanor, and overlooks the orchard in all directions. Within walking distance to all that the historic village of Kinderhook has to offer including a farmer's market, Morningbird Coffee Shop and the rest of the exciting new Mill complex. Just 2h to NYC and a world away.
