The Huguenot House, built in 1792 and originally a part of one of the Huguenot farms, is an authentic historic estate set on five luscious acres with splendid views of Mount Rafinesque. This historically significant property has been painstakingly brought back to its former glory by the current owners over nearly two decades, with the help of master artisans in the area. While the entire home has been upgraded to meet the demands of modern living, all the relevant and aesthetically important historical details like wide plank floors, original windows, moldings and other millwork, and wood-burning fireplaces remain. Tastefully appointed Brunshwig & Fils wallpapers finish several rooms, creating a sense of classical elegance. The first level of the 3,900 sq ft main house is grounded in its historic roots, with a formal entry and living room with a fireplace, a cozy library/study, and the original dining room, all with particularly lush views. The ground floor is completed by a professional chef's kitchen featuring top-quality appliances and custom cabinetry, an expansive, more casual family room, and a full bathroom. The second floor has three bedrooms, two full baths, and a brand-new laundry room. The primary suite also has an ample walk-in closet. Across the property's stone-walled garden is the original carriage house, which has been impeccably renovated recently with an additional living space of 1,500 sq ft with three bedrooms, two baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and laundry. The property's grounds are truly magnificent, with an English garden designed by famed master gardener John Brookes. A diverse flower garden defined by a wide stone wall all around and a water fountain in the middle has been developed between the main house and the carriage house. A footpath lined by mature and lovingly cared-for plantings meanders around the property. Designed for low-maintenance upkeep, the owners have created an in-ground irrigation system available throughout the gardens and in flower beds. A picturesque barn complex, in excellent condition, offers great storage and use as a workshop, studio, or functional stables. Huguenot House is just 15 minutes from downtown Troy, a little jewel of a city with stunning architecture, great restaurants, and an Amtrak station. Albany is 20 minutes away, and Kinderhook, Chatham, Ghent, and several charming towns in Massachusetts and Vermont can be reached in under an hour.,InteriorFeatures:French Doors,Walk-In Closets,ROOF:Asphalt Shingles,AboveGrade:3916,FLOORING:Wood,Tile,EQUIPMENT:Carbon Monoxide Detector,Smoke Detectors,APPLIANCES:Water Softener,Heating:Central Heat,Below Grnd Sq Feet:1300,ExteriorFeatures:Landscaped,FOUNDATION:Slab Additional Information:  Amenities:Guest Quarters,
