692 County Route 2

Originally built in 1855 and thoughtfully restored for today, this old Hudson Valley farmhouse has a distinctly European sensibility: pared back, quietly luxe, and more Provence than country cute. The original bones remain beautifully intact, with wide board floors, hand hewn beams, and period doors and hardware preserved where they belong. Against them, the new work feels considered, and deliberate. The 1,566 square foot home offers three bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room, with new bathrooms throughout, a new kitchen, and new laundry, all finished with restraint rather than nostalgia. Downstairs floors have been brought back to their original charm, while energy efficient windows, a new well, new septic fields, new hot water heater, new deck, and new driveway bring the house comfortably into the present. Set on just under half an acre, in the hamlet of Elizaville, the property has a rare connection to the landscape around it. The Roeliff Jansen trout stream runs just a hundred feet from the garden, and residents enjoy private access rights to Twin Lakes. The Elizaville Deli and Kiki's have reopened just up the road, while easy access to the Taconic keeps Rhinebeck, Hudson, and the city within reach. An 1855 farmhouse, hand hewn and beautifully intact, restored with a light touch and nothing left undone.
