This elegant 1783 Georgian home in the hamlet of Clinton Corners embraces history while existing in communion with its surroundings. Its luminously pink brick facade is made more remarkable by the lush green setting. The property is enclosed by sage-green fencing that melts into the background, creating a sense of ultimate privacy without ostentation. The first floor offers a graceful flow from a wide central hall: formal dining room, large, sunny dine-in country kitchen, living room and adjacent sitting room. Also on this floor is access to a two-story guest quarters with sunroom and separate entrance. Upstairs, the primary suite, three more bedrooms, and a full bath are arranged around a generously proportioned landing/sitting room. The home is just minutes from Millbrook, Rhinebeck, and Stanford but feels like remote countryside. The landscaped grounds include a pond, a wide bluestone terrace for outdoor dining, centuries-old hardwood trees, a sculpture garden, extra parking capacity, and a U-shaped driveway reminiscent of the days of horse and carriage. There is a fireplace in virtually every room, high ceilings, endless natural light, and 18" walls that provide natural temperature and noise control. The current owner is a renowned designer who has added magically stylish touches to the home without impinging on its 250 year distinction, so that while the property transports us to another time, it embraces all the modern comforts of gracious living.
