Though many attempt to create a “modern farmhouse” aesthetic, few find as much success as this circa 1880 home in Rhinecliff, in the town of Rhinebeck, New York. Surrounded by a wooded lot and Hudson River views, this postcard-pretty property at 42 Kelly Street, asking $995,000, has undergone a considered renovation that features just-right design details for maximum comfort and charm.
Helmed by Post Company, the home’s redesign has been subtle but complete, integrating the home’s interiors with its proportions, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the bucolic surroundings. If you’re noticing the perfectly calibrated interior design choices, you’ll be excited to know that furnishings are available for purchase.
During the year-long renovation, the home was framed with new structural and mechanical elements including windows, gutters, roofing, electrical, and HVAC. Neutral-toned paint was used to highlight the original architecture.
Living spaces are enhanced with earthy and natural colors and textures. A russet-hued mudroom contrasts with pale plaster walls in the living and dining spaces.
A tranquil and classic kitchen features custom millwork for storage spaces that blend seamlessly with the architecture. Generous windows on all sides keep the space filled with light.
Baths feature subtly dramatic details like a shower built from Calacatta Rosa marble, Waterworks fixtures, and radiant floor heating. Bedrooms are clad in limewash.
The compound consists of the main house and three outbuildings, which include a garage and a potting shed. Outdoor spaces include a front porch for rocking and a side patio for outdoor dining. This contemporary country hideaway is conveniently near the Rhinecliff train station.
