About 3 Route 216
Extraordinary. A Circa 1790 Hudson Valley estate where history, character, and endless possibilities come together. More than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
The 3,458-square-foot main residence features 6 bedrooms (including first-floor guest quarters), 4 updated full bathrooms, two original working stone fireplaces, meticulously maintained original wood floors, exposed ceiling beams dating back to the 1700s, radiant heated floors, high-speed internet, second-floor laundry, and a heated, sun-filled third-floor bonus room. The updated chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, an island cooktop, and an adjoining service pantry. A working Sedgwick hand-powered elevator and an antique cast-iron parlor stove reflect the home’s rich heritage. The formal dining room can also serve as a library or family room. The added charm of a wraparound porch blends together architectural elegance, practical outdoor luxury, and a deep sense of nostalgic hospitality.
This serene property consists of nearly four manicured acres with mature trees, fieldstone walls, decorative stone wells, vegetable gardens, and a chicken coop. Situated on the property is a unique period cottage, steps from the main house.
There are approximately nine barns and outbuildings that offer endless possibilities, limited only by one’s imagination, including artisan workshops, a gym, indoor greenhouses, private wellness or yoga spaces, classrooms, spaces for hobbyists, equestrian enthusiasts, car enthusiasts, art galleries, or even a wedding or event venue. One bay is currently used to house the owner’s unique automobile collection and features its own automotive hoist.
Additional amenities include a spacious, separate Swedish sauna that includes a changing room area, a traditional bread oven reflecting the home’s early heritage, and an extra strip of land that surrounds the property where the current owner stores his boat.
Explore local wineries, hiking and biking trails, historical sites, parks, and outstanding public and private golf courses. Within minutes are farmers markets and the nearby City of Beacon with its acclaimed restaurants, galleries, music venues, theatre, kayaking, the renowned DIA Beacon Museum, vibrant arts scene, and year-round cultural events. Convenient access to I-84, I-684, the Taconic State Parkway, and Metro-North’s express service to Grand Central Terminal provides an easy connection to New York City.
