Nestled in its own valley
and approached from a long driveway is this lovely Dutch
stone house of 1754. It was built by the Rushmore family
in 1754 and still retains 95 acres of the original farm.
In recent years it has been tastefully renovated,
bringing out many of the original features of the home
including three fireplaces, rich cherry-colored hard
pine flooring, hewn rafters and collar beams under
cathedral ceilings, early moldings and hardware and the
original stone smokehouse.
The home is surrounded by lawn and large shade trees.
Adjacent is a pond, stream, three car garage, and garden
house. Beyond are countless acres of fields and
woodlands.
Although an unusually large property it is remarkably
close to the vibrant village of Catskill where an
energetic new community of enthusiasts are restoring
period houses and revitalizing Main Street with
galleries, life-style stores and community events.
Acquiring this desirable home is your entry into an
exciting life style of like-minded friends. |
