For the discerning purchaser in the Hudson Valley, Cross Creek is nonpareil. Nestled on 5 acres at the northern end of the coveted, bucolic Smithfield Valley, this 4/5 bedroom, 4 full bath home now comes to market for the first time in 35 years. The original 1810 farmhouse built around a three hearth core fireplace combines unique warmth and charm with the ease of a contemporary open floor plan with original chestnut and pine wide board floors. The spacious open, light filled public rooms are ideal for entertaining as are the adjoining living areas and terraces. An updated open kitchen with breakfast bar flows to the gracious dining area with fireplace and bay window. This opens to a large two-story great room with an abundance of four season light from three sides. The kitchen dining area also connects to the cozy family room with the original kitchen hearth/beehive oven. This is the perfect spot for cozying by the fire and also offers a breakfast nook that enjoys early morning light. An additional main floor living room has been converted into the master bedroom with fireplace and en-suite full bath. It offers privacy from the additional four bedrooms on the second floor and could easily be used as an additional living room if so desired. The walk-up attic space off the second floor has the potential to be an amazing bonus room/studio/office space. A separate three bay garage with a second floor also offers many possibilities. Cross Creek enjoys some of the best private and unspoiled views in the Valley, overlooking horse and dairy farms, and other estates. The property is graced with mature trees and beautiful established gardens, and the Wassaic Creek flows south through the property into the Valley beyond. Near the main house you will find the secluded pool area, with in-ground heated pool complete with charming pool house. Nestled in a hill just south of the stone wall are remains of the original dairy barn. This property has it all, a most desirable location, sublime views and privacy. Moreover, it is equidistant to Millbrook, Millerton, and Pine Plains, and close to Rhinebeck. Close to the Taconic and Metro North Station in Wassaic.
