Old-world European Elegance in Claverack
This stately stucco structure is down a long winding driveway and includes a private swimming pond.
A luxurious European-style estate on 130 acres, "Dragonfly" at 35 Harlemville Road in Claverack is a Normandy-style home with lots of perks. This stately stucco structure is down a long winding driveway and includes 7,200 square feet of living space, surrounded by stone walls, woods, and a private swimming pond. Its aesthetic recalls old-world vineyards, but built in 1980, it's fairly new for the area.
Of course, there's a great room, and of course, there are two wood-burning fireplaces framing the space. Light comes in from a wall of glass that takes advantage of the landscape, and French doors open out to the terraced patio and woodland/pondside views. There are five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a chef's kitchen with a 48-inch oven range, a dining room and parlor, and an interesting wrought-iron staircase (plus matching wrought iron window bars) that leads to the primary suite. That suite has a sitting room, fireplace, spa-like bath, and a private balcony with sweeping views. This estate is about 20 minutes from Hudson and the Berkshires, so it's easy to get to cultural attractions and great food.
35 Harlemville Road is listed for $2,995,000 (recently reduced by $300,000) by Chris Getman at Houlihan Lawrence.
