Friday Real Estate Porn: Austerlitz Contemporary, $1,675,000

  |  June 22, 2012

We’re surprised the Beale Road House was built in the 1980s (not our favorite period for architecture). This home in Spencertown/Austerlitz is surrounded by four ponds, on 38 acres, and evokes Ms. Havisham, or the setting for a Merchant-Ivory film. It was once featured in House & Garden magazine, hence the pretty photos.

The house is modestly-sized for a luxury pad: two beds, two baths, 2,500 square feet. You’re paying for the design, the land, the landscaping. We’re particularly fond of the screened in porch, and its precisely placed antler decor.
