Historic Architecture and Modern Sustainability in Tivoli
A home that predates the founding of the U.S. by more than 30 years.
We are lucky to be in a part of the United States with architecture that predates its founding. Here's 252 Nevis Road, a 1744 Dutch Colonial in Tivoli, with sustainable updates and lots of smart restoration, set on 10 acres with panoramic views of the Catskills. Nevis Road hugs the Dutchess-Columbia border near the river, so expect far-flung solitude, but reasonably accessible shopping and dining.
The best of both worlds are here for those who appreciate a historic home but want to live a sustainable 21st-century life: wide-board floors, hand-hewn beams, and built-in bookshelves alongside modern comforts like heat pumps in every room, a $60,000 solar array with powerwalls, and two Level 2 EV chargers. Inside the 2,200-square-foot home are four bedrooms and a spa-like upstairs bathrom. A three-story barn is nearby, with 200-amp service, an artist's studio, and buried power lines.
252 Nevis Road is listed for $949,000 by Dominique C. Shuminova at William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty – Heather Croner Brokerage.
