Tucked in a quiet Hudson Valley hamlet, 90 miles from NYC, a storybook cottage—fully rebuilt for modern living. Butternut Cottage is an 1800s-era home, named for the 250-year-old butternut tree on its grounds, and thoughtfully restored with so much attention to detail. The aesthetics preserved include wide board floors that flow throughout the home, authentic doors and hardware, as well as the hand-hewn beams that exemplify our forefather’s craftsmanship. The welcoming entryway/mudroom accommodates a petite powder room with laundry and accesses the spacious Living Room which can accommodate a formal Dining table and is flooded with natural light from large windows overlooking a bucolic back yard with seasonal views of the famous Rojan trout stream. An optional Jotul wood-stove keeps one toasty on chilly days. The spacious Kitchen is ultra-modern but blends beautifully with the old-time charm with tasteful finishes and palettes. A Dining nook has a lovely window perfect for bird-watching. The Primary Bedroom is on the main level and has a gorgeous en-suite with soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, spa style finishes and eclectic touches. A skylight illuminates the space. On the second level there are two comfortable Bedrooms, one features a slider to a private deck which is perfect for stargazing or sunbathing. The second 3-piece Bath features classy fixtures and another fabulous skylight. The home has mechanically upgraded with all new HVAC for heating and cooling, electric, hot water heater, windows, roof, deck, driveway and privacy landscaping. The septic fields have also been replaced, along with a new deep water well. Best of both! The lovely backyard has vintage shade trees but plenty of open space for gardening and play bordering forever wild land. A short stroll takes you to Red Rooster for ice cream or the new Elizaville Deli and Diner. A 10-minute drive to Taconic State Park, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Pine Plains and all the exciting offerings that make the Hudson Valley the best place to live and vacation.
