While architecture trends change with the times, there’s something about the simple lines and stunning surroundings of a classic upstate farmhouse that endures. This circa 1840 eyebrow colonial at 720 Center Hill Road in Copake, New York, embodies that aesthetic. Carefully considered design details make this historic property–asking $795,000–both modern and timeless. As an irresistible bonus, there’s a fully outfitted–and utterly charming–guest house just out back.
Sited on two-and-a-half acres and surrounded by wooded hills, a mere two-hour drive from New York City, the home’s interiors are clean and spare, with familiar details like old-growth pine floorboards and two-over-two windows. Rooms are light-filled and sized for living.
A mudroom begins the transition from outdoors to indoors. The modern country kitchen features beadboard millwork and a sturdy farmhouse sink.
The first-floor bedroom gets a classic bath with a walk-in shower and vintage details.
Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a second bath tucked beneath the home’s gently curved roof. Also on this floor: A cozy sitting area/den.
On all sides are rolling lawns, woods, and blue skies beyond. There is a fire pit in the backyard for all-season gatherings.
The most charming feature of all is a newly constructed separate guest house with a classic modern vibe–and an attached garage. French doors lead to a spacious living room, where a Noguchi pendant hangs from the vaulted ceiling. The bedroom offers an en-suite bath with a marble-clad shower.
