Set on nearly four acres in Pound Ridge, NY, 156 Old Stone Hill Road is a circa-1769 residence that pairs more than 250 years of history with an extensive, design-forward restoration. Rather than stripping away the quirks and character of the original home, its owners took a preservation-first approach, restoring hand-hewn beams, wood walls, original doors and hearths while introducing modern systems, artisan finishes, and contemporary comforts throughout. Inside, centuries-old architecture provides the backdrop for a restrained mix of natural materials and highly considered finishes. Venetian plaster, Marmorino, Tadelakt and limewash appear throughout, alongside custom millwork, wide-plank and herringbone floors, and vintage European lighting sourced over several years. At the center of the home, a Cristallo marble kitchen pairs an AGA range with Sub-Zero appliances, Waterworks fixtures, and custom pantry and mudroom millwork. The primary suite features custom marble work, Waterworks fixtures and a restored ThermaSol steam shower.

Built in 1889, the Beacon Firehouse is a landmark of the city’s historic core, distinguished by its mansard roof, original bell tower, and arched windows. Once central to Beacon’s civic life, it retains much of its original craftsmanship – from ornamental plasterwork to finely crafted woodwork – alongside modern infrastructure. Today, its scale and adaptable layout position it for a new chapter, from cultural or community use to boutique hospitality, all within steps of Main Street’s shops, restaurants, and galleries in one of the Hudson Valley’s most active small cities.
