Large American Gothic Revival home provides a wonderful combination of capacity, comfort, style, and location. This property is situated in the Hudson River Historic District -- an area well-known for its scenic beauty and important historic estates -- midway between Bard College and Rhinebeck just off picturesque River Road in the rural hamlet of Barrytown. At the house, outside spires, gingerbread trim, and ornamental stonework are matched inside by spacious light-filled rooms with wood floors, high ceilings, arches and other decorative features, and seven fireplaces made of alabaster and other distinctive stone. The attic has been finished into a separate 5-room apartment. Connected by a breezeway is a loft-bedroom studio -- could be a guesthouse, studio, or rental; in the past it served as the family's game room. The third building is a well-kept barn with automatic door openers and an upper floor -- it currently serves as a garage and storage -- could be another studio space. At 2.87 acres, the parcel is easy to maintain yet large enough to afford privacy. Beyond its perimeter are the open grounds of the Union Theological Seminary, the Hudson River, and miles of rural roads -- all with the Catskill Mountains visible to the west.
