Hudson Valley Musing

Open House yesterday was a real delight

Yesterday I attended two open houses which turned out to be a real delight.  Both houses were built in the 1800's.  What made these two properties so interesting to me was not just the houses but what you saw on the outside.

  • House number 1 was built in 1889 and was completely renovated.  A beautiful garden was added and various sitting area was placed throughout  the garden.  This is the perfect place to get-away to after a very hectic work week.

          This is what I saw:

This property is located in Southern Columbia County.

 

  • The second house was an estate along the Hudson River on 65 acres in Tivoli, NY.  A European Romantic style with over 4000 square feet as well as a carriage house and 2 cottages.

 For me, it was all about the views. I would be comfortable sitting for hours watching the river and the mountain.

It is such a pleasure to get the opportunity to view unique properties.

Jennifer, I love the second house, the mountains AND the water are just beautiful!  I would love spending time up there this year---maybe a drive up during the annual leaves changing "event."

Jennifer both houses look like special houses, but the second one has some fantastic views.  I to could sit there " for hours watching the river and the mountain".

Jennifer, I'm all about the views!!  How relaxing would that be.  I can't even imagine a home built in 1889. We have a few old farm houses but they are a mess, almost tear downs.

Carole - I think you would have fun and I have a 1700 house you could rent, sleeps 8.  I am hoping for terrific foliage this fall.

George The view was assume, I really could have spent the day .

Diana - Sorry you weren't able to fit the open houses in your schedule.

Missy- It is beautiful property I guess my husband can't give it to me as a present since it cost over 6 million dolllars.

Paula - Some of the windows had window benches were you could sit and take in the scenery.

Marchel - I am a view person also.  I have a listing right now that is from 1773 and is in perfect condition.    Those older homes have such character which the newer homes lack.

1773, I'm not sure if there were even any hacienda's around here back then!  That's incredible!  Tomball is just now celebrating their 100 year birthday.

Absolutely beautiful! This is a perfect time of year with the leaves beginning to change. I hope these properties show as well in winter.
