What makes this place historic? Well, for starters, it was built in 1770. But it’s not just about its age; it’s about who slept here. George Washington, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Roosevelt (which President Roosevelt, we’re not sure. Listing does not specify if it was Teddy or FDR) were all rumored to have crashed this pad. Even cooler, though, is that when Marie Curie stayed here, she brought a tree as a gift, which is still growing on the property (again, according to the listing). Aside from its historical significance, it’s just a straight-up drool-worthy property with a main house (depicted above) that still clings to its 18th century roots. The 4 acre piece of land in Dutchess County also includes a summer guest cottage, tea house (we would definitely enjoy a spot of tea here), barn, pond, meandering brook, and gardens. Located just shy of the NY/CT border 3 miles east of Patterson (there’s a train station there). Steel yourself for the tax bill.
