Description
The charming Parrish House sits on seven perfectly landscaped acres at the base of the majestic Brace Mountain in the storied Boston Corners hamlet of Millerton. Built in 1780 for Reverend Parrish, this farmhouse has been meticulously restored by its current owners, preserving every bit of historical detail, inside and out, while adding and updating to provide all necessary comforts for modern living. Impressively wide plank wood flooring, an oversized wood-burning fireplace, 12-over-12 windows, and original beamed ceilings all add to the allure of this historic home.The property's unique beauty takes your breath away with views in every direction, lush and mature Cotswold-inspired gardens, specimen fruit and hardwood trees, an enchanting birch grove, and a circular pea gravel drive to enter the property. Once inside, you're greeted by an expansive ground floor, including the living and dining rooms, an eat-in country kitchen, a laundry and mudroom, two bathrooms, and a sizeable primary bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. The kitchen and laundry both have new top-quality appliances. Upstairs are two very sizeable light-filled bedrooms, a full bath, and an office with a view that easily could double as a fourth bedroom if needed. The entire basement has been finished with a concrete floor, making it an attractive storage area.The exterior's seemingly endless sprawling gardens offer a secluded spot for the heated pool, which is entirely surrounded by beautiful flowering bushes, and partially shaded by an ancient and enormous oak. The fenced vegetable garden looks onto a couple of acres of meadows, where carefully mowed walking paths have far-reaching views. There are multiple areas to relax and enjoy the outdoors, including a stone patio, a lounging area by the pool, and another cozy spot with a firepit. The outbuildings include a 200-square-foot artist studio, easily converted into a pool house, a garden shed, and a new Amish-built barn with a standing seam metal roof. The entire main house and the garden shed have a newly installed cedar shingle roof. The Parrish House is ideally located just minutes from the delightful town of Millerton with its art-house movie theater, Harney Tea House, and charming boutiques and restaurants, 30 minutes from Hudson and Great Barrington, 20 minutes from Wassaic Metro North train station, and under two hours from New York City.
