Spend the summer in a green, sustainably renovated, historic landmark 3BD house; extensive gardens and orchard; adjacent to 4000-acre backyard reservation and still only an hour train ride from Grand Central. The space A landmark historic home built in 1760 and restored in 2013, the entire house has original wide-plank hardwood floors and exposed beams. The first floor is an open layout with a gourmet kitchen including subzero, miele and viking appliances, a large pantry, and plenty of seating around the dining table and raw wood bar. Sit on the leather loveseat and look out the picture windows, sip wine at the old-growth oak countertop bar, or lounge in the living room, with double sliding glass doors leading out to the wrap-around deck, local stone fireplace, and reclaimed barnwood wall. When it's chilly, there is a wood stove and also a fireplace, with plenty of firewood to make your stay extra cozy. Upstairs, the master bedroom looks out on the gardens, old-growth trees, and dappled forest. There is a brand new saatva luxury organic queen mattress. The master bath has a large slate shower and sink. A second bedroom looks out over a hemlock grove and sleeps one in a single bed. The third bedroom has a single bed and sleeps one. The second full bath has a clawfoot soaking tub, cypress wood paneling, and antique marble sink. A full size washer and dryer on the second floor make laundry convenient. The house was renovated with geo-thermal heating and cooling, powered entirely by wind power. All appliances are energy efficient. Stroll the garden, enjoy a bottle of wine sitting in one of the garden nooks. Soak in the outdoor clawfoot tub, fully functional with hot and cold water, while watching the birds, bees and butterflies flutter in the surrounding trees and flowers. Soak up the sun in the grassy stone-walled gardens, picnic at the old apple tree, roast marshmallows around the cast-iron fire cauldron, or dine in the garden at the cast iron table. Enjoy the afternoon shade of the slate patio or the morning sun on the wrap-around deck. Tesla charger available for electric vehicles. The house was filmed and featured in the HBO show GIRLS, season six, episode two. Forty miles of trails await you in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Westchester's largest tract of preserved land. To access trails, just follow the path along the stone walls at the back of the property. Half a mile walk in the woods leads to the Overlook where you can view clear across the county, over the reservoir, to the mountains on the other side of the Hudson River. Pick wild blueberries, forage for mushrooms, or harvest wild raspberries. A quarter mile down the road is a stream to cool your feet, and a half mile away are trails down to the reservoir waters. A gorgeous ten-minute drive through the country and along the reservoir leads to the quaint towns of Bedford, Scotts Corners and Katonah, where Metro-North commuter trains run take you to Grand Central in 60 minutes or less. Dine at numerous farm-to-table restaurants, including The Inn at Pound Ridge, Bedford Post Inn, and Truck. Locally, visit the Katonah Museum of Art, visit the farmers markets, and stroll the gardens at John Jay Homestead, Hammond Japanese Gardens, and Garden of Ideas in South Salem. Don't miss the stellar summer outdoor concerts and music festivals at Caramoor, just two miles down the road. Guest access The guests will have access to the whole house and property. They do not have access to the basement or attic. Other things to note We do have very fast wifi internet, but THERE IS NO TV. There is no microwave. The house gets limited cell phone reception, depending on your service provider. If you turn on WiFi calling on your cell phone you should have no trouble making and receiving calls.
