1856 Grist Mill Conversion in Harpersfield, New York
LISTING DETAILS
A CATSKILL PREMIER LISTING: Nestled beside a picturesque rambling waterfall stream sits this beautifully restored, 3864 square foot, circa 1856 grist mill, creating a dramatic one-of-a-kind home on the perfect setting! Each step of the renovations took into consideration; a Loft-style, Soho layout combined with an eye towards integrating amazing built-ins and romantic charm. This house is stunning!
When you first step thru the original antique chestnut mill door you will immediately be taken back by the "GLEAMING" wide-plank pine floors of the great room - achieved by meticulously staining the wood with "black tea" and finished with multiple coats of a "green-base" floor renewal. When I say "gleaming", this floor is gleaming! And then, take a quick glance thru the 75 foot long open floor plan and you will immediately know that this is a home that has been nurtured with many cherished finds: Antique barn door was used to create open bookcase dividers, historic cobblestones created a hearth for the center wood-stove, handcrafted hinges and latches dress the rustic interior doors, and multi-plae cottage windows perfectly frame the backyard setting. As you would expect, the warm and inviting open kitchen is literally the "heart" of this home and continues to emphasis uniqueness with artisan-crafted country cabinets and African slate countertops, center Island with a vintage wood worktop (from a local hardware store), 6-burner Viking stove with antique cut tin square back splash/hood, all showcased by a hand painted "Bruce Dragoo" accent wall. The main level bath features a beautiful cast-iron footed bathtub plus footed sink, original fixtures and antique metal medicine cabinet.
Climb the historic mill stairs to the second floor and the spectacular and creatively inspiring studio (could be a third bedroom). Here, there are two bedrooms including a dramatic master bedroom with charming cottage window. Floors are chestnut, walls are plaster and lighting is predictably dramatic. Finally, the outdoors is just exquisite with a striking Japanese inspired entertaining deck overlooking the stream, original rock walls, flowering landscaped accents and walking paths thru the forest.
Come see this enchanting home bursting with character soon. You will find it perfectly located to enjoy all the recreational amenities that this area is known for: ski, hike golf, fish relax!
