About This Property
Wedding Present Farm. This stately Georgian Colonial was erected in
local brick in 1910 to maximize views of its elongated Hudson River
shoreline & distant prospects of the Berkshires. Wedding Present
Farm (73 ac.) is set amongst a string of storied Manor Houses &
River Estate Farms south of Albany that articulated life for
prominent families. It borders conserved land, including the 330
ac. working farm at its northern border (once owned by the notable
lawyer, merchant & agronomist Edward Townsend Reed). The House with
Cupola at the south was owned by the proprietor of Knickerbocker
Ice. The house proudly displays classical architecture in
over-sized & high ceilinged Public Rooms admitting light at both
ends, centered on delicately carved fireplaces & enjoying oak
floors. Exterior Porched Entrances are of classical Grecian styling
& columned iteration, either using hand-carved volutes or
Corinthian capitals. The River Doorway, Foyer & Staircase are of an
equal prominence as the Front Entrance. The bookcased Living Room
(29'x17') yields through french doors on each side of the carved
fireplace to a large columned South Porch with a brick breastworked
fireplace that connects to the Postern. Above it, a large roofed
Terrace is accessed by french doors from a Bed Room. The Dining
Room (29'x17') is expressed by high raised panel wainscotting, a
carved fireplace mantel with classical motifs & oak floors. The
adjoining Kitchen Dining Room (19'x17') is fireplaced & is open to
the North Porch & the Kitchen (24'x12') & Butler's Pantry with
marble countertops. Second story Bed Rooms, Baths & Hallways are
amply proportioned. The Master Bed Room is 31' x 17'. The Third
Story Ball Room (40'x25') has two facing fireplaces & wide board
floors. Architectural whimseys & conceits applied by the noted
housewright Mr. Selkirk are far too numerous for further
enumeration here. Ancient & stately specimen deciduous &
nondeciduous trees grace the grounds, including the massive
tuliptree near the South Porch. Ancillary dwellings include a 3400
s.f. Tudor-styled Guest House & two other 3 bedroomed Guest Houses.
These are supported by 3 barns, garages & fields. The driveway
penetrates Entrance Woods & 2 Ponds. The Pool is to the North. A
wood road runs from house to the included 42 ac. Shad Island. More
land avail. Handy to Albany, MA Pike & Shore Towns.
The manager has listed the unit size as 4800 square feet.
