About This Property
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
