The Story
Taconic Creek Road is a dead end lane in the eastern hills of Hillsdale, the Columbia County town where New York leans into the Berkshires and Catamount runs its ski trails. The road carries a handful of houses among rolling fields and large surrounding parcels, and this one, built in 1993, has been rethought as a modern reading of the Hudson Valley farmhouse.
The renovation holds to a narrow palette and lets the materials carry it: lime washed walls with real depth of color, custom millwork, and wideboard wood floors running through 2,100 square feet. The mechanical work came with it, a new roof, new HVAC, a new septic system, and electrical lines buried on the way to the house.
The House
The main level is anchored by the open kitchen, where Tundra Gray marble counters meet an English farmhouse sink, custom inset cabinetry, and paneled appliances, with a deVOL pendant hung over the kitchen table. The sitting area is lined with custom built bookshelves, deep windows face the garden, and french doors open onto the patio. A built-in bench holds the entry, and the main level bath hangs Noguchi pendant lights.
Upstairs, a sitting room walks out to a screened porch, and three bedrooms share the floor. The primary suite takes the best of the treeline: a picture window, an office that doubles as a walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub positioned to the view.
The Grounds
The 1.2 acres hold a pool surrounded by lilacs and hedges, and a garage. Hudson and its Amtrak station are fifteen minutes away, Catamount's slopes are in town, and the city is under two and a half hours south.
