Description
The Isaac Fitchett House is an elegant c. 1840 Greek Revival farmhouse sited on 10 pastoral acres down a long country driveway, offering a rare opportunity for seclusion with a home of this vintage. True to its architectural style and embodiment of a quintessential country home, the property is host to all that one needs to live well in the countryside. In front of the house, a rivulet runs in and out the pond flanked by weeping willows, in a meadow that blooms in spring with wild irises. A decorative entryway with a column surround opens onto a traditional hall with the original charm intact. The interior is warm and hospitable with wide plank floors, spacious rooms, and a classic layout that lends itself to gathering and entertaining. Just off the spacious eat in kitchen is a screened in porch and herb garden with culinary and medicinal plantings. The park-like property borders over a square mile of woodlands with sweeping views of both the Catskill and Taconic Mountain ranges. Atop the rolling hills is a multilevel barn and nearly quarter-acre fenced garden looking over the picturesque stone walls, wildflower gardens and mature trees. Fruit trees blossom with apples, cherry, and quince while the maples produce a light golden syrup. An exemplary Hudson Valley homestead, just 2.5 hours to NYC and 10 minutes from the buzzing Village of Coxsackie.
