A Circa-1769 Home in Pound Ridge, NY
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.
