Previously part of Rhinebeck's Wilderstein estate, Wilderkill offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort. This mid-19th century home was meticulously restored and modernized by the locally renown design / construction firm Art of Building. The original 18th-century Dutch stone house once the creamery of the Wilderstein estate anchors the home on the ground level. Step inside to find a modern foyer flanked by windows on the left and original stone foundation on the right. A poured radiant concrete floor warms the space. The foyer leads to a generously-sized guest suite or library with full bath. A charming wine cellar can be found tucked behind the stone foundation wall. Stairs lead from the foyer to the first level, revealing an open concept kitchen and dining space with adjacent living room. A formal parlor with wood-burning fireplace occupies the southern portion of the house. Three exposures of windows ensure the room is bathed in light throughout the day. Stairs bound by an exquisite bannister lead from the parlor to a landing on the second floor. The primary suite is accented with beautiful exposed beams and features a wall of built-in cabinetry. The primary bath includes a gracious soaking tub as well as a stand-alone shower. A second handsomely-finished full bath is shared by two bedrooms found off the landing. The house sits on 5 acres and includes a barn with a lofted office / storage space. Two hours from New York City and with easy access to Amtrak, this historic Hudson Valley property is idyllic yet accessible.
