Bright, clean & spacious (2,300 sq. feet), 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, peaceful country home on 1.5 acres, just outside the village of Kinderhook. While the front of our house faces a country road, the back looks out over beautiful forest/marshland, and is very peaceful and tranquil (there's a real chorus of frogs & crickets to be heard on spring & summer nights!).

Originally a stand alone home built in 1864, an additional home was added on in the 1950s and connected to the original structure, and later in the 1980s a large kitchen and back deck were added on; our house is a Frankenstein of eras that somehow all meld together in a charming way :).

The home is 4 levels (including the partially finished attic and unfinished (though heated) basement). The main floor includes a spacious living room, dining room, open kitchen, cozy den, bathroom and large deck overlooking our peaceful backyard; the second level has 3 bedrooms (and my office, which will not be available) along with a full bathroom, and the 3rd level is our partially finished attic (which we'll use to store things while we're away, so will not be available). We also have a heated basement with a work space, washer/drier and half bath.

The house has lots of windows and skylights and plenty of cozy spaces to curl up with a good book, gaze out over the woods or sunbathe on the back deck on warmer days. We also have a firepit for our backyard and a gas run firepit for our back deck for cozy outdoor nights. This is our full-time home, so it's furnished with all the things we love: comfy furniture, eclectic art, lots of books, plants, & board games.

We have super fast WiFi and a mesh system that allows strong internet throughout the house, and there are multiple good working spaces on the main level (large tables, comfortable chairs, etc). In addition, the house is heated by mini-split units throughout the the house, which are both energy efficient and can be used for both heating and cooling; we'll have these set on automatic schedules, though they can be adjusted if needed.

Located in the Hudson Valley, Kinderhook is just 2 1/2 hours outside of NYC and known for it's open farmland, rolling hills and mountain vistas (we're located between the Catskills, Taconics & Berkshires). We live down the road from the empire trail (an elaborate biking/hiking trail that runs from NYC to Buffalo), and there are tons of beautiful hikes all around us. We're also just 30 minutes from the Massachusetts border, where there are so many charming historical villages to visit. We love the beauty, nature and artistic community that our region is known for; it's a truly magical place.

Kinderhook village is a 3 minute drive away, and has several wonderful restaurants, cafes, galleries, a bookstore & library and both a yoga and pilates studio. There are multiple grocery stores 8-15 minutes away and several wonderful farm stores with fresh produce and baked goods. We're also just 15 minutes from Hudson, which is a favorite getaway for many New Yorkers, given it's vibrant culinary scene, beautiful historic architecture and many galleries and charming shops.

About This Lister

My husband Brent & I are longtime New Yorkers who moved to the Hudson Valley in the last few years to enjoy a slower pace of life with our two sweet pups, Mia & Penny. We both work remotely and love to travel and have friends and family across the country and in other parts of the world. We've had subletting experience both as the people renting out our home to others as well being the one caring for others' homes. We prize taking care of a place as if it's your own, and honoring shared spaces and the energy and care you bring to them. This is an LGBTQ+ affirming space.
