Property Description
The Waterfall House; a 1740s farmhouse hidden on thirty-eight acres and set on a quiet country by-way just minutes from the village of Tivoli. The private entrance lane crosses two bridges over Stony Creek, a meandering year-round stream surrounding this unique property where the millpond and falls are the centerpiece of a bucolic landscape of stonewalls and towering trees. The long-time owners, an architect and his British born wife have thoughtfully updated the house with heightened ceilings and multi-paned windows bringing in natural light to the enlarged ground floor rooms. A cozy kitchen fireplace centers a comfortable entertaining space for family and friends. Pass through the formal dining room and step down into the 19th century wing to the most charming sitting room with beamed ceilings and another wood burning fireplace. A second staircase rises to the second floor bedrooms and two full baths. The property includes a modern two-bedroom guest house designed by the owners.
