Public Remarks: An incredible period home nestled on a bucolic road outside Hudson, The Jedediah Link House tells a story for the ages. It is classic romance, it is timeless beauty never going out of style. It is one of the Great Houses of Columbia County.The c1825 home underwent an extensive restoration executed under the stern vigilance of the area's premier expert on Greek Revival Architecture. With his guidance, all additions, such as the pool house/double garage, back lounging porch, and internal restorations were strictly in the spirit of the age and architecturally correct. The restoration architect faced a dilemma-- the house would originally have had no indoor plumbing. So his strategy was to imagine what late Victorian/Edwardians- the first generation of indoor plumbing- would have done. There are many examples of what that strategy resulted in its execution such as replacing any broken window panes with historical, wavy glass, replacing flooring from period equivalent homes and barns, the Greek Keystone pool, Edwardian faucets and putty colored floors. The marble kitchen island was tea-treated to create a patina of use, the Greek egg design surrounding the front door was painstakingly restored, the original front door bell pull was reinstalled. The list goes on. The Bible'' used throughout the restoration was Asher Benjamin's classic, The Practice of Architecture.'' It resulted in this incredible 4BR 4BA home, nestled on 20 private, lush acres of pond, pastoral fields, willow trees and old growth maple. 2h to NYC and 15m to Amtrak.
