Restored with Shaker Sensibility
OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, May 16, 1PM-3PM.
An historic farm house, circa 1850. renovated and restored within the recent past, preserving the signature elements of the home's original period - high ceilings, wide-plank floors (some painted, some stained an ebony walnut), six-over-six windows, gracious rocking chair front porch. As you walk through the home you quickly discover why it has been featured in Country Home and Martha Stewart Living - there's an unspoken Shaker sensibility of understated style, taste and convenient functionality.
The main level consists of a welcoming entrance hall with hand-turned stairway, formal parlor with wood burning fireplace along with south and west facing windows, formal dining room with built-in Shaker style china cabinet, spacious eat-in-kitchen featuring built-in Shaker style china cabinets and open pantry shelving, Viking stove,Incognito Miele dishwasher, lots of prep counters and antique farm house porcelain sink. Kitchen back door leads to a back porch overlooking the lawn and gardens. Just off the kitchen is a guest powder room.
The second floor is the master bedroom suite - commodious bedroom with south and west windows, large windowed dressing room, and spacious bathroom with its antique claw-foot enamel tub (a man-size 6'), antique pedestal porcelain sink, separate shower stall, built in cabinets for his and her toiletries and bath towels. Bathroom flooded with early morning sunlight from its two east facing windows.
The top floor features two guest rooms and full bath. The larger of the two guest rooms is currently being used as an office and exercise room. And, this room could be divided into two spaces, if so desired.
The front porch is quite large and overlooks the great lawn with its protective, sheltering trees. Gravel driveway easily accommodates two cars. Radiator heating (oil above ground tank under porch), electric circuit breaker, public sewer and water. Easy access to all shopping and public transportation. NYC is a quick 30 minutes away. And, best of all, are the low, low taxes.
The Palisades Historic District sign has been placed on the front edge of the lawn, by the town. And, this home is a perfect testament to the veracity of its claim.
