Liberty Farmhouse offers thoughtful design and meaningful updates with all the historic details and authentic character you’ve been looking for. Wood floors, exposed beams and original details awash in warm natural light connect you to the history of place, while well-considered updates bring an appreciated amount of modernity. Lush gardens greet you on your approach to the house, leading you to charming rocking chair porches. Entering through a cozy sitting room, complete with an efficient pellet stove, and passing through an adorable dining nook, you’re led into the heart of the home: the large, open chef’s kitchen, designed by the celebrated team at Jersey Ice Cream Co, and featuring cabinets and a farmhouse sink from DeVol, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island. An inviting den offers more room to gather, and the large, reimagined mud/laundry room is conveniently located just inside the back door. The second floor features a large open landing with lots of light and built in book shelves, currently used as an office. The primary bedroom is on this floor, boasting a large walk-in closet / dressing room area with loads of built-ins as well as a fun trapdoor entrance to the back staircase. A large bathroom with clawfoot tub and walk-in shower are also featured here. A second, cheerful guest bedroom completes this floor. The third floor loft is a large bedroom space with peaked ceilings, private sitting area and its own full bathroom. Skylights help keep this space feeling bright and airy. Outside, the grounds offer bucolic fields, stunning ridgeline views and a bounty of show-stopping flower gardens. A mini pergola houses a hammock from which you can admire the sunsets behind the classic red barn, itself recently partially rebuilt and structurally re-enforced, with recently replaced structural beams, roof and siding, and ready for your visions of potluck country dinners or disco-balled dance parties. A few other original structures on the property offer a charming peek back at the history of the farm. Don’t forget to explore the fields, where you can find wild apples perfect for making cider, blueberry bushes and access to a nearby creek. Recent updates include new roofs on the house and barn, replaced siding on the house and barn, new kitchen, pantry and mudroom / laundry, radiant heat in the kitchen, pellet stove in the sitting room, new radiators on the first floor, new front and back door, some new windows, new front porch, new sump pumps and weatherproofing in the basement, new floors on the first and second floors and all that lovely landscaping. Did we mention that it also comes mostly furnished and with a hot tub hook up already installed? This is truly the turnkey dream house you’ve been looking for. All this just two hours from Manhattan, fifteen minutes from Livingston Manor’s charming Main Street, and ten minutes from the conveniences of Liberty, NY.
