Historic Colonial on 40 Acres in Elizaville
This is a prototype for all kinds of Hudson Valley summer houses in literature.
This is a prototype for the Hudson Valley summer houses of literature—I personally think of Mathilde and Lotto's house in Lauren Groff's "Fates and Furies," but you can fill in the blanks yourself. 1049 County Route 19 is tied perfectly to Elizaville, with its history and character—a big 1859 Colonial originally built as a gift for one of the Livington family's tenant farmers.
The four-bedroom, three-bath residence is 2,500 square feet on 40 bucolic acres, including a private 8-acre lake and a tiny brook. Inside, there are original wide-plank floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and detailed woodwork at the home's historic center. Recent renovations added on to the home, and now it has a cathedral-ceilinged library or den, with a full bathroom and central air. There are three bedrooms upstairs, and downstairs, a living room opens to a pretty flagstone terrace that overlooks the lake. A former barn has been converted into a three-bay garage with upstairs space ready for a future guest house.
1049 County Route 19 is listed for $2,195,000 by Norah P. Burden and Owen Davidson of Brown Harris Stevens HV LLC.
