BAUER HOUSE This delightful renovated c1880s farmhouse sits on 2.17 acres in a quiet corner of coveted Germantown, with mature trees, open lawn, and a wonderfully natural feel to the landscape, with an original stone wishing well adding a touch of old-fashioned country charm. Less than a mile from the historic hamlet center and just minutes from the Hudson River, the house offers the best of a peaceful country setting with Hudson and Rhinebeck both just 15 minutes away. Inside, natural light fills the house, where original character and modern updates come together effortlessly. The welcoming foyer opens to a generous dining room and spacious living room with a wood-burning stove. An adjoining sun-filled room offers flexibility as a guest room, studio, yoga or media room, while a dedicated home office and expansive windowed sunroom with direct access to the backyard add to easy livability. The kitchen is fabulous, with soapstone countertops, handmade Moroccan tile, high-end appliances, and an oversized pantry, all overlooking the deck and yard. The gracious deck is made for long summer lunches, evening drinks, and enjoying the peaceful setting. A full bath with handmade tile and laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs are two bright bedrooms and a versatile third room that could be a nursery, a place to reflect or read, or a very generous closet. The second full bath has shower and freestanding soaking tub beneath a picture window. Outside, there is plenty of room for gardens, recreation, entertaining, or a future pool and additional outbuildings, along with a detached one-car garage. A quintessential country setting with plenty of charm, wonderfully quiet and close to the river, yet minutes from Germantown, Hudson, and Rhinebeck.
