1790 Farmhouse in Milton, New York


LISTING DETAILS

Nestled in the Hudson Valley, in the once-bustling Lattintown hamlet of Milton, NY, this 1790 American farmhouse is robust with history and architectural details. In 2017-2018, the home underwent a meticulous and loving restoration focused on bringing the strong bones and warm soul of this once-forgotten treasure back to life. Great lengths were made to preserve the character of the home while updating it for the 21st century and beyond. 

Accents of the post and beam structure were exposed and rejuvenated; the true wide plank floors (one plank exceeds 22 inches!) were restored to their original glow; gorgeous French doors with textured stained glass were peeled of centuries of paint to display their tight-grained golden oak. A galvalume standing seam roof reflects the summer sun keeping utilities low; farmhouse sinks adorn the kitchen and mudroom for utilitarian and aesthetic pleasure. Two covered porches and a large deck offer ample outdoor sitting and entertaining space; a walk-out basement to a patio set within earshot of a bubbling brook allows for peaceful morning coffee/tea or evening serenity. 

A large 2,500 square foot barn sits near the house and can offer endless opportunities only limited by your creativity. The location offers a sense of isolation given the endless orchards and vineyards surrounding it; however, it's centrally located to some of the Hudson Valley's most desirable destinations: 24 minutes to Beacon; 21 minutes to New Paltz; 18 minutes to Poughkeepsie; 33 minutes to Kingston; 21 minutes to Newburgh--the convenience to the region's best offerings is truly unmatched. Seven wineries, a cidery and a distillery are within the 5-mile radius of the house. To experience the unique features of this loving home, you have to see if for yourself.
