About This Property
The Stone Carriage House, tucked away on 11 acres mere minutes from
Millbrook Village, has been a secluded retreat for nearly 100
years. Built in 1920 by the Alfred B. Maclay family, this unique
home is full of mystery and magic. Originally the carriage house to
the Maclay estate, the house is discovered at the end of a long
driveway, surrounded by copper beech trees, Korean dogwoods, French
lilacs, and herb and flower gardens. A peaceful hideaway with
absolute privacy, the Stone Carriage House offers long views to the
Taconic and Berkshire ranges to the northwest from its many windows
and expansive wraparound deck. Soft breezes waft gently through the
open summertime windows in every room. Central to the home is a
dramatic large room reminiscent of a French country house, with an
entire wall of eight carriage doors. This communal space opens to
the garden whose flagstones are stitched with patches of sweet
thyme. A spacious living and dining space and country kitchen share
this original high-ceilinged carriage room. Floors of waxed cement
and cobblestones and thick walls of hand-laid stone lined with
plaster create cool in the summer and cozy warmth in the winter.
Numerous woods imported from the Maclay's Florida estate are used
throughout the house, including southern pine, mahogany, and oak.
There are three bedrooms downstairs, a primary suite upstairs
including large sitting room with kitchenette, a library, and two
offices. There are more closets, built-in shelves, cupboards, and
storage than anyone could dream of in a century old house.
Foxglove, lilies, irises, clematis, lavender, grape arbors, apple
orchard, and an espaliered apple tree along the south wall provide
country beauty through horticultural diversity. 24 hour notice
