From the Agent: "This circa-1789 center hall home is a gorgeous example of an Adam-style Federal, developed to bring a lighter and more elegant feel to the Georgian architecture of previous eras. The design moved away from the strict mathematical proportions previously found in Georgian rooms, and introduced curved walls and striking color schemes. The current designer-owners of the home have breathed new life into this neoclassic style, with a striking mix of color and form. It is increasingly rare to find a traditional Hudson Valley farmhouse that is still so true to its original design—including handblown glass windows, a thin, curved banister with wonderfully simple balustrades, three working fireplaces, and several more decorative mantels. The original, stately farmhouse is surrounded by Samascott Orchards, a lovely neighbor both in appearance and demeanor, and overlooks the orchard in all directions."
