75 Block Factory Road
Germantown, NY 12526

The 19th century is alive and well in this otherwise thoroughly modern house. Originally built in 1870, meticulously updated, restored and maintained by a renowned museum curator, this Italianate villa is ready for its fourth owners to move right in. Quality was the guiding principle for every detail, from the recently installed geothermal HVAC system to the encaustic tiles in the entry hall to the reproduction William Morris and A.W. N. Pugin wallpaper throughout. The cheery kitchen features IceStone recycled glass-and-concrete countertops, Artistic Tile backsplash as well as Wolf, Viking and GE Monogram appliances. Other highlights include 10' ceilings, fully restored original windows with wavy glass and a working fireplace. Located in Germantown, equidistant to Hudson and Rhinebeck and just two hours from NYC, the house sits at the crest of a hill, welcoming light and views of the lovingly designed perennial gardens from all directions. For lovers of historic houses and elevated design, your own Olana'' awaits.
