A 1974 Mid-Century Modern With a 60-Foot Lap Pool, in Stuyvesant

Built in 1974 by an engineer, 117 County Route 26A in Stuyvesant is an unusual thing: two originally identical houses combined using steel beam construction into a single symmetrical residence that reads as a small French chateau from the outside and a piece of period modernism from within.

The interior is organized around lofty two-story atriums with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and vertical mullions that cast long light across the white-painted rooms. The open kitchen has original mid-mod mosaic tile and clean lines that hold up well against its era. Three bedrooms and 2 baths across 2,304 square feet. Patios front and back extend the living space outward in both directions.

A 12-by-60-foot lap pool sits alongside a screened pool house, surrounded by hedges of hydrangeas and a boxwood garden that give the grounds a European quality. The long lawn stretches beyond, with florals spilling over the edges.

Stuyvesant sits on the eastern shore of the Hudson in Columbia County, with Kinderhook village close for restaurants, and Samascott Orchards 5 miles away for farm-direct provisions. Hudson is a short drive away as well.

117 County Route 26A, Stuyvesant (NY) is listed at $795,000, offered by Gary DiMauro and Parker Meyer at Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty.
