#69422 Morningwood Farm $599,000.
Morningwood Farm, an inviting 19th-century house (c.1840, with earliest part dating 1750), has been saved from incongruous 20th-century updates, making it perfect for a purist to restore and create a gracious 21st-century country home. A straight-forward footprint, good flow, large rooms and high ceilings: original details include exposed hand-hewn beams, wide-board floors w/rich patina, deep moldings, plaster walls and early kitchen cabinets. The first floor includes kitchen, pantry, formal dining room, parlor-style living room, pine-paneled gathering room w/wood-burning fireplace, a large screened porch, and bath/laundry room. Second floor has four-plus bedrooms and newly-remodeled full bath. The landscape offers a beautiful private setting on 3 acres of rolling hills, woods w/towering pines, dry-stone walls, a hilltop orchard and not a neighbor in sight. A spectacular red barn w/intact silo has guest apartment w/wood stove. Two hours from New York City; close to Metro-North.
