One of the Oldest Houses in Philmont
Shining with Colonial charm: A farmhouse sink, beautiful wide-plank floors, and Greek key trim.
169 Main Street in Philmont is a restored Colonial dating back to 1815, one of the oldest houses in this walkable, charming village 15 minutes from Hudson. The house is 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, and has kept its period charm with a farmhouse sink, beautiful wide-plank floors, and exposed brick, and decorative Greek key trim around the second-story eyebrow windows. The two main living rooms at the front of the house mirror one another, each anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by tall, twelve-over-six windows. Upstairs, the layout separates the primary suite from two guest bedrooms connected by a landing area.
Set on a full acre in the heart of the village, this house is a good compromise between rural and village life; Philmont has some good food and lots of lovely architecture to spot, and it's also of historic note for being the birthplace of Oliver North, who was on the National Security Council during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980s. A front porch looks out over Main Street, while the backyard offers a mix of open space and wooded edges.
169 Main Street is listed for $735,000 by Annabel Taylor of Four Seasons Sotheby's Realty.
