Property Description
Started in 1740 and designated a complete homestead in the public records in 1773, the Shuart Van Orden House maybe the most complete and well preserved example of the early Dutch Hudson Valley architectural style and so duly recognized as a gem on the National Register of Historic Places. The home, restored to perfection in the 1980s, is now well adapted for modern living. The interior space is characterized by wide plank oak and cedar floors, wavy glass windows, original Dutch doors, exposed stone walls and tulip wood beams. The warm white walls and large open spaces provide plenty of natural light all through the day. There are 6 fireplaces, including a massive 8 ft wide summer cooking hearth with a beehive oven. The wood paneling, shelves, doors with iron hardware are all original and restored to perfection. Farrow & Ball paint has been used on all surfaces. The kitchen-dining room has custom cabinets, a 48” AGA range with multiple ovens, copper sinks, Fisher-Paykell dishwasher drawers, and a SubZero 36” refrigerator with freezer. Geothermal heating and cooling and custom storm windows. The living area on the first floor has a den, living room, dining room and kitchen. A second wing has a study, a bathroom and a staircase leading to the ground floor living room with fire place. On the same level is the tavern with the hearth fireplace. The sleeping quarters on the second floor of the main house include a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a bathroom with an 1800s copper lined tub. The original covered veranda and newly built stone patio overlook the property’s seven rolling acres and pond. One of the barns has been converted into a modern guest house. It has an office, a bedroom, kitchen and full bath with an outdoor shower on the first floor. The second floor is a captivating hay-loft movie house with a professional quality sound system, theater sized 14 foot retractable screen and a snack bar for a total movie going experience. The other outbuildings include an 18th century stone granary and pavilion for outdoor dining, 2 barns, a potting shed and a 1700s outhouse. Cedar fencing for maximum privacy on the front and side and tall deer fencing in the back with gates to allow access to the stream bordering the property. 20 minutes to the Poughkeepsie Amtrak and MetroNorth and less than 90 minutes from New York City.
