The Boice Homestead, $1,750,000
Gary DiMauro Real Estate | September 8, 2014Romantically rambling 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath farmhouse on nearly 60 private acres that epitomizes the rural, casual lifestyle of the Hudson Valley. Built in three eras reflecting the needs, necessities, and luxuries of the times, with the earliest wing of the house dating back to 1773. It now contains a beautiful ensuite guest bedroom with a comfortable sitting room and private entrance. The largest part of the house was built around 1810 and contains a formal center hall entrance with an elegant fanlight, a front parlor with a fireplace and a wooden mantle displaying the ‘dentil’ molding of the period along with delicate plaster frieze work on the ceilings. The latest part of the house, added around 1890 as a summer kitchen, is the heart of the house with a large open kitchen/dining area/gathering room and an impressive walk-in fireplace and hearth. An inviting 20 x 20 screened porch extends the living space in the warm weather months for informal entertaining. The current owners created a beautiful artist’s/writer’s studio on the upper floor of the huge Dutch barn and added an in-ground pool. The entire house overlooks a tranquil pond with a charming duck house. See the full listing.
