Public Remarks: Welcome to historic Surdeval Farm, a spacious 4,500 square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bath homestead on 24.5 acres located between the charming villages of Chatham, Kinderhook, and Valatie. Over the decades the original early 1800's core home was expanded and rearranged and is now ready for its next chapter. The formal entrance to the home is from the grand tree-lined circular driveway to the side door, to a foyer, which opens to a large, beamed living room (with welcoming woodburning fireplace) bypassing the infrequently used front door and revealing an attractive classic curved stair to the second floor. On the other side of the stair, on the first floor, a bedroom or den and adjoining bathroom were installed, while on the second floor there are three traditional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was updated to include cherrywood kitchen cabinets and adjacent light-filled dining room was added. The ground floor was extensively enlarged with an informal side entrance and hall that leads to the laundry, kitchen and a second handsome stair to the upstairs bedrooms/baths. The hallway also leads to a sprawling ground-floor primary bedroom suite with wood burning fireplace, separate walk-in closets and shelves, luxurious Jacuzzi-type bathtub, and French doors to a stone patio. A large screened porch also connects to the back hallway. A few steps away from the main residence, a small post and beam barn was completely renovated to become a stylish high-ceiling studio with full bathroom. Nearby is a huge, spectacular hillside post-and-beam bank barn originally used to store hay and grain on the upper floor and on the walk-out lower-level, stalls for horses and other animals. A corncrib and outhouse are remnants of these bygone times. Beautifully landscaped to include perennial native and showy flowers, dogwood and shad shrubs, the property encompasses hundred-year-old trees, grassy meadows, and an inviting curved Gunite pool. Set on a country road with other farms, this area is highly valued as a retreat for prosperous families, especially on weekends during the summer months. Just down the road from the PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance and the Chatham Shaker Museum, it is 2.5 hours from New York City and Boston, half hour to Hudson, Albany, and an easy distance to the peaceful Catskill and Berkshire Mountains.
