Four bedroom, three and a half bathroom farmhouse | 4,197 square foot home on 10.53 acres | Exposed timber beams | Dark hardwood floors throughout | Designer kitchen and baths | Three wood-burning fireplaces | Formal dining room with wall of glass to rear deck | Primary suite with an ensuite bath with steam shower | Private guest suite with ensuite bath | Swimming pool and sweeping lawn | Featured in Vogue Living and New York Magazine | Asking $2,500,000

Originally built in the 1970s and thoughtfully renovated, Blue Hill House – a classic farmhouse just outside the heart of Hudson – carries the weight of a historic colonial while feeling notably fresh. The architecture reads as classic farmhouse, while the interiors feel precise and edited. Dark hardwood floors run wall to wall beneath exposed timber beams, and three wood-burning fireplaces anchor the floor plan, giving structure to the main rooms rather than serving as ornament.

The front door opens directly into the main living space, where a brick fireplace sets the axis of the room. Across from it, a custom-built corner breakfast nook is integrated into the space. The kitchen connects seamlessly, finished in crisp white cabinetry and concrete countertops, with a 6-burner stove, paneled refrigerator, open shelving, and elevated fixtures. A wide window over the sink frames the lawn beyond, echoing the home’s overall farmhouse feel.

At the rear of the kitchen, the formal dining room sits to the right, scaled comfortably for a table of eight. A wall of glass opens onto the deck, extending the room outward. Just beyond, the living room is defined by a painted black fireplace and built-in bookshelves that frame the entry. The first floor also includes a front parlor, a half bath wrapped in yellow rose wallpaper, and a separate flex space suited for a lounge or recreation space.

Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own wing. A formal sitting room, centered around a wood-burning fireplace, creates a clear progression of spaces before the bath. The ensuite features a walk-in glass steam shower wrapped in green tile, with a built-in bench and a window overlooking the property, and a double-sink vanity is set into an arched opening lined in Baroque-inspired wallpaper.

Two additional bedrooms feature wood-paneled ceilings and paned windows, sharing a bath with a deep soaking tub. A formal guest suite sits apart from the others, with slanted ceilings and two distinct areas that allow for sleeping and workspace. Its ensuite bath includes a glass-walled shower finished in cream-colored glossy tile. The finished third floor offers additional flexible space suited for an artist studio or yoga space.

Outside, a large in-ground pool sits just off to the side of the house, positioned for long afternoons in the sun. At the back of the home, the dining room opens onto a deck partially shaded by a pergola. The grounds stretch across more than ten acres, offering both openness and privacy.

The Neighborhood: In + Around Hudson, NY

Blue Hill House sits just outside of the center of Hudson, one of the region’s thriving communities. Warren Street remains the town’s central hub, lined with design-forward shops, long-standing antique dealers, elevated cocktail bars, and intimate restaurants.

Shopping along Warren Street and just beyond reveals Hudson’s layered character. FINCH pairs high-end furniture with curated art, while Clove & Creek offers candles and thoughtfully made home goods. Made X Hudson focuses on small-batch, sustainable fashion, and Canvas + Clothier carries American-made clothing and textiles. For a more expansive hunt, Hudson Antique Warehouse, tucked slightly off the main strip, houses a wide-ranging inventory of antique furniture, lighting, art, and housewares.

After browsing the shops, Hudson’s bars, restaurants, and coffee shops offer an equally thoughtful mix. WYLDE Hudson is a coffee shop-meets-wine bar-meets-market, which can easily be followed by a visit to Talbott & Arding for provisions. Dinner and drinks range from elevated Italian fare at Feast & Floret, set inside a working flower shop, to tropical comfort food at Lil Deb’s Oasis, and cocktails in the moody, low-lit lounge at The Maker.

Beyond Hudson, the surrounding landscape offers its own rewards. The Stissing Mountain Trail climbs to sprawling views from the fire tower at the summit, while nearby Art Omi spans over 100 acres of outdoor sculpture set in open fields. At Olana State Historic Site, the former home of painter Frederic Church, carriage roads and wooded trails unfold into sweeping vistas of the Hudson River.

Our Favorite Details: 18th-Century Farmhouse Sensibility, Built in 1977

Despite being built in 1977, Blue Hill House has the presence and proportion of a much older farmhouse. Its interiors feel naturally settled, with design choices that suggest history rather than imitation. The result is a home that reads as lived-in, with a sense of character that belies its actual age.

That approach reveals itself in the details. Exposed timber beams span the ceilings, and dark hardwood floors run throughout, grounding the interiors with a sense of permanence. In the kitchen, the fireplace placement feels particularly true to early American precedent: set low and integrated into the room rather than elevated or theatrical. Though painted white on the exterior, it retains a classic brick interior and an unraised hearth that quietly nods to traditional cooking fireplaces.

Several rooms feature fully wood-paneled ceilings, adding warmth and a slightly timeworn feel. Elsewhere, vintage-inspired wallpapers – baroque florals, block-print motifs, and nostalgic yellow rose patterns – lend personality without tipping into pastiche. The cumulative effect is convincing: a house that feels storied and settled, despite being comparatively young.

Ravenswood in Salisbury, CT

A dark exterior gives way to light-filled, angular interiors, where oversized windows and glass doors create clear sightlines to the surrounding greenery and establish a strong connection to the grounds. This interplay between structure and landscape defines Ravenswood, a forest retreat designed by StoneFox Architects and later featured in Architectural Digest.

Entering the open living space, soaring ceilings rise beneath a loft-style hallway on the second level. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the sitting area, while a wall of glass doors and expansive windows frames the landscape beyond. A dedicated dining area sits at the center of the room, comfortably accommodating a large table and flowing into the elongated kitchen, providing an ideal layout for gathering and entertaining.

The kitchen is organized in a U-shaped configuration around a substantial eat-in island topped with Carrara marble. Custom European bleached white oak cabinetry conceals integrated appliances, set against a glossy blue tile backsplash that adds contrast and depth. Storage is generous throughout, and an additional set of glass doors opens directly to the grounds. Set apart from the rest of the main level, a den sits behind sleek, oversized French doors with a modern profile, offering separation when needed. An airy guest suite and a separate half bath wrapped in intricate monochromatic blue wallpaper complete the floor.

Up the solid oak staircase, the landing forms the loft-like corridor seen from below, overlooking the living room and offering space for a desk or reading area. The primary bedroom centers on a large picture window facing the forest, while the ensuite bath includes a deep soaking tub positioned toward the property, a double vanity, and a large marble shower. An additional guest bedroom set beneath vaulted ceilings and a full bath complete the second level. Below, the ground floor provides flexible living space currently arranged as a living room and gym, along with a separate laundry room.

The home’s grounds extend directly from the glass-lined living space, beginning with a stone patio spacious enough to accommodate both dining and lounge areas. A run of concrete stairs leads down to the heated gunite pool, subtly separating spaces for entertaining and swimming. At the front of the home, the pea gravel driveway doubles as an additional gathering area, where Adirondack chairs encircle a fire pit just beyond the property’s entrance.

The Stone Cottage at Mill Brook in Glen Spey, NY

Set within Black Forest on six wooded acres, the Stone Cottage at Mill Brook blends the permanence of stone construction with the thoughtful precision of modern design. Its cottage-like exterior leads into a 3,400-square-foot home where vaulted ceilings, generous proportions, and carefully chosen finishes define each space. The home’s design balances lodge-like warmth with meticulous detail, from stone masonry and exposed beams to globally sourced finishes and integrated systems.

Through the main entrance, the home opens into an airy living area rising under vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams. To the right, a sitting area centers around a grand stone fireplace framed by arched windows and a circular candlestick chandelier. To the left, the kitchen and dining areas offer a space for gathering: marble countertops, gold-toned accents, a six-burner Ilve range with griddle, and an oversized eat-in island. Three tall, narrow doors open directly to the wraparound deck from the kitchen, while the adjacent dining area features built-in cabinetry and a flat archway that reconnects to the foyer.

The Lodge in Parksville, NY

Once the heart of a 1960s sleepaway camp, this former dining and dance hall, known as Lodge #1 at Elko Lake Camp, carries forward the warmth and character of its past.
