This unique property, originally built in 1909 as a schoolhouse and was expanded in 1919 by the Chichester furniture factory for the children of its employees. Steeped in history, the home is situated on 2.5 acres of picturesque land with stunning mountain and creek views and a serene pond. The property underwent a meticulous two-year restoration project aimed to preserve original elements while incorporating repurposed period details. Step onto exquisite old-growth heart pine floors reclaimed from the joists of a demolished 19th-century Hudson River factory, offering both durability and a story with every step. The oak doors throughout the house, salvaged from a 1910 brownstone, add character and authenticity. Many of the schoolhouse lamps are original milk glass and hardware that have been carefully restored. The entrance chandelier, a stunning focal point, was salvaged from a Brooklyn church. The centerpiece of the great room is a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired fireplace, acquired at auction six years ago, providing both warmth and a statement piece. The main bathrooms feature full-wall Calacatta marble subway tiles, echoed in the kitchen counters and backsplash. Enjoy a soak in one of the two custom copper-clad clawfoot tubs, designed for both comfort and aesthetic appeal. Unique Art Deco cement encaustic tiles serve as stunning accent pieces in the lower level entrance and kitchen window trim. Stay comfortable year-round with an efficient ductless mini-split system and custom-made Anderson windows that ensure both energy efficiency and historical accuracy. The entrance columns, recreated using traditional barrel-making techniques, add to the home's authentic charm. This historic home, offering 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, provides a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history with modern amenities. The attention to detail in the restoration, from the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired fireplace to the reclaimed heart pine flooring, ensures that this property is both a comfortable home and a tribute to its rich heritage. The expansive deck provides an idyllic spot to soak in the natural beauty and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Located just minutes from the town center of Phoenicia, this residence offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and convenience. Explore a variety of local amenities, including delightful coffee shops, diverse restaurants, and convenient grocery and general stores. Just a short drive away, savor local flavors at the famous Phoenicia Diner. Winter sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Hunter Mountain for exciting winter adventures. Don't miss the chance to experience the perfect blend of past and present in this beautifully restored residence.
