100 North Main Street

Set in the heart of historic Kent village, this exceptional circa-1800 New England Greek Revival Farmhouse marries small-town walkability with eleven-plus acres of true country privacy. This property underwent a meticulous, top-to-bottom restoration from 2016 through 2018, preserving the home's original character while quietly engineering it for modern life - new wall insulation throughout, expanded electrical service with overhead fans and period-correct lighting, refinished antique floors in every room, and five zones of climate control with hydro-air heat. The main level opens to a warm, paneled living room with a fireplace-anchored dining nook - both detailed with custom paneling added during the renovation. A formal dining room and a library with built-in shelves and a limestone fireplace flank the central hall. The adjoining game room - opened up when interior walls and doorways were reconfigured - leads through French doors onto an expansive covered front porch, completely rebuilt with a new copper roof, classical columns, and a stone floor base. A chef's kitchen sits at the heart of the home: a 60-inch Wolf propane range, warming drawers, Viking ice maker, a Shaw farmhouse main sink and prep sink, ROHL faucets, and Rejuvenation hardware are set against Cambria quartz countertops, a ship-lap backsplash, and a custom island with built-in microwave and cabinetry. Step from the kitchen onto the covered stone porch and into the courtyard - designed for al fresco dining and shaded by mature plantings. A first-floor bedroom with restored en-suite bath and its own private entrance offers an ideal guest suite or in-law setup. The renovated mudroom features a built-in bench, additional Shaw sink, and matching ROHL fixtures. A restored downstairs half bath, refinished front stair rail, and freshly painted interior round out the main level. Upstairs, the generously proportioned primary bedroom enjoys a dressing room and full bath. A second en-suite bedroom features a fireplace, and an oversized bedroom. Additional upper-level rooms include a study and a sunlit loft with nine-plus-foot ceilings, perfect for a writer's retreat or quiet sitting area. The upstairs full baths were renovated to match the kitchen's restrained, period-correct palette. Outside, the transformation continues. The driveway was rerouted to better frame the home's southern elevation, the front facade was rebalanced with windows repositioned for symmetry, and the entire exterior was repainted. The grounds - eleven-plus acres include cleared lawn, restored woodland, scenic hillside, and a brook at the back boundary - were reopened during the renovation: pathways cleared to the top of the property, dead trees and invasive vines removed, original stone walls re-exposed. New plantings of maples, boxwood, ferns, hydrangeas, and azaleas layer color across the seasons, and a dense evergreen privacy hedge encloses the pool yard and back lot lines. At the center of the gardens, sits an artfully designed 18-by-50-foot Gunite saltwater pool - Pebble Tec finish in Ocean Blue, with a 9-by-18-foot sun shelf, granite coping and decking, six-by-six Rodio ceramic tile, a 31/2-foot shallow end stepping down to eight feet, a step-out bench in the deep end, and an umbrella holder set into the sun shelf. Equipment is housed discreetly in the historic 1862 antique barn, whose roof and foundation were reinforced as part of the prior renovation. Inside and out this property is gleaming with period details intact and brought up to today's standards Beyond the gates, the village of Kent - named one of America's best small towns by Smithsonian Magazine - is a short walk away, with galleries, restaurants, the Kent School, library, and park all within easy reach. Metro-North is ten miles south at Wassaic, and New York City is just eighty miles down the road.
