Property Description

Experience extraordinary at The Arboretum—more than a residence, it is a botanical sanctuary defined by a living landscape of specimen trees, perennial gardens, and the soothing sound of a year-round stream. From the moment you pass through the gated entrance framed by hydrangea-lined fencing and continue down the drive bordered by majestic Metasequoia and fragrant linden trees, you are transported into a world of complete tranquility. Spanning 3,656 square feet, this circa-1840 Colonial has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully expanded, showcasing wide-plank floors, period moldings, and three fireplaces throughout. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and premium appliances flows effortlessly into an inviting living area with a fireplace and a sun-filled dining nook—capturing picturesque views of the manicured lawn, gardens, and water beyond. A pergola-covered back deck extends the living space outdoors, offering the same serene outlook. The main level is well-suited for today’s lifestyle, featuring a gracious covered front porch framed by a wisteria-draped arbor, a formal dining room, living room, a library with fireplace, and a home office. The upper level serves as a peaceful escape, highlighted by a primary bedroom with dual walk-in dressing rooms with natural light, two additional bedrooms and a renovated bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. For guests, a private lower-level suite offers original architectural details, a fireplace, and direct access to a secluded bluestone patio. Beyond the main house, the grounds offer endless inspiration with a greenhouse and a detached barn-style garage. This versatile structure features a work area and upper loft perfectly suited for an office, studio, or gym, complemented by an additional storage shed. Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated, including central air conditioning, a generator, an irrigation system, and Pella windows. This property offers the serenity of country living and is conveniently located just minutes from shopping and dining, the Taconic State Parkway, I-84, and the Pawling train station, providing an easy commute to New York City. The Arboretum is a remarkable property, offering an ever-changing landscape where each season unveils its own distinct beauty.
