Westerly is one of the finest estates on Quaker Hill, located on 23.77 private, level acres, all cleared & landscaped, at the end of a truly local road. The expansive fields & meadows are perfect for a horse farm. The original home was built in 1860, the front addition was built in 1920 by the DeWitt-Wallaces of Readers Digest fame. A sensitive whole house renovation was completed in 1990 preserving the original character of the home with modern upgrades for ones comfort & enjoyment.  The home itself is magical with over sized rooms which flow into one another for an open feeling. A wide, two story foyer with elegant winding staircase leads to the upstairs.  A spacious LR w/fplc, a library with built in bookshelves & a fplc, an office, a formal DR w/ fplc, a designer eat in kitchen w/granite counters, a dining area & the original wood burning stove still installed in a fireplace,  (not usable but left as a historical reminder). The back staircase leads to the upstairs. The entire house has  hardwood floors. There are French doors everywhere & the windows are tall to let in the beautiful sunlight. Upstairs, 6 BR's, 4 full bathrooms. Downstairs, 2 powder rooms. There is a recreation/pool room & a mud room with built ins. The covered veranda offers shade & a lovely place for those lazy afternoon lunches & early evening sun downers. The patio off the LR offers an additional outdoor space to relax. There is a caretakers cottage with a 3 car garage & a 2 stall stable with tack room. There is also a large 3 bay barn towards the back of the property, a har-tru tennis court in need of repair & a basketball court. The in ground pool which hasn't been used in years is below the main house, privately situated alongside a stream. There is a fabulous gazebo overlooking the stream which was used for a writers studio & also as changing rooms. The property is minutes from the village of Pawling, the train station, shops, places of worship, restaurants & the Saturday morning farmers market from June through September. Only 90 minutes from NYC, it is an easy commute either by train or car.
