This elegant, circa 1800 residence was once one of the barns of the Wilderclif Hudson River Estate, built in 1799 by Rev. Garretson for his wife, Catherine Livngston. In the mid 1970s it was bought by New York designer, Stephen Mallory, who preserved the massive chestnut beams and period details and turned it into a 7000 s.f., 3-story home.

The most dramatic feature of the residence is its 30x30 great room with 20' ceilings, multiple 9' doors, floor-to-ceiling fireplace and parquet de Versailles floors. The main level also has a stylish, mid-century kitchen; formal dining room with fireplace and wide board floors; library; and a formal foyer as well as side foyer, known as the "Flower Room" outfitted with a vintage saddle sink that is ideal for bringing in garden cuttings.. The first floor also features a gracious master en suite with two walk-in closets, additional closet and bath. Lastly there is a powder room.

The upper level offers several guest bedrooms — the "Swedish Room" with its wideboard floors and walls combined with beamed ceilings and crystal chandelier. There are three additional bedrooms, two full baths and a large family room.

The lower level features a summer kitchen, dining room and living room. In addition, there is a cabana, workshop, wine cellar and storage space as well as powder room and laundry facility. The summer rooms open out to a brick-laid courtyard, inground pool and formal gardens.

The property consists of 10.5 acres of rolling pastoral acreage that are professionally landscaped with ornamental plantings and mature evergreens and hardwoods. To the rear the property gently slopes down to a wooded setting and frontage on the Landsman Kill with its own waterfall.

In addition, there is a period barn that serves as a garage and storage facility.

The property is convenient to Rhinebeck and Amtrak and less than 2 hours from Manhattan.

Offered at $1,895,000.
