This stately Greek Revival sits proudly on a generous village lot in the historic Hamlet of Hillsdale. Dating back to c.1848, the home boasts beautiful architectural proportions and details. Pilasters accent the exterior corners of the house and a front- and side-gabled roof add additional grandeur. Arrive via a front porch — running the full width of the facade — framed with Doric columns. The front door, surrounded by two glass sidelights and topped by a transom window, leads into a center-hall / foyer. To the left, a front parlor flows into a generously sized dining room. Elegant moldings encase the windows and doorways. Beyond the dining room, a commodious kitchen with large Viking gas range and double-bowl farmhouse sink entices any gourmand. Two walls of windows allow light to flood the space, and a wood-burning stove adds extra warmth and air of coziness. A large pantry offers ample space for storage and organization. Off the kitchen a four-season sunroom drenched in light contains a gas-burning fireplace and access to the yard. A wet bar, found off the dining room, features a charming booth overlooking a stone patio. A full-length parlor occupies the western side of the house. It features an electric fireplace as well as a fully enclosed nook with another wood-burning stove. A powder room is found tucked behind the parlor’s interior wall. Upstairs five bedrooms and two full baths surround the second-floor landing. The primary bedroom opens to an office space with a third full bath. Outside a large barn contains a hot tub, workshop and abundant storage. The yard is fully fenced and spacious, perfect for letting pets off-leash as well as outdoor entertaining. The home strikes a balance between historic and contemporary, with plenty of room to spread out. Walk to shops, restaurants and grocers located in the Hamlet of Hillsdale. Located 20 minutes to Hudson, 15 minutes to Great Barrington and just minutes to skiing and summer recreation at Catamount Resort, this home is ideally situated for exploring the upstate lifestyle.
