Property Description

A Germantown Gem on Main Street. Well-preserved historic farmhouse with 5.5 acres in the heart of Germantown's hamlet is looking for its next steward. Once part of a 19th-century farmstead, this rare opportunity combines a c.1860 Victorian farmhouse and barn with period charm, history, and a prime location. An impressive property first occupied by Edmond Rockefeller, both house and barn retain their rich architectural character and comprise a substantial in-town offering of parklike lawn stretching to wooded acreage. With old growth maples and pines contributing to the country feel, this gracious home has perfectly maintained its original architectural details. The front entrance greets you with uniquely carved double doors and a veranda that wraps around and is flanked by classic pillars and detailed scrollwork. A sprawling first floor offers ample rooms and options for a creative, open flow. The spacious kitchen includes a picturesque dining area that looks back on the rolling lawn. A light-filled dining room highlights classic Victorian elements, with a stunning inlaid floor, an arched bay window with stained glass, and opens to the veranda. The upstairs features a gracious floor plan with four large bedrooms, wide board plank floors, and a layout that allows for privacy and the opportunity to create a sitting room, dressing room, or office. Adjacent to the home sits a detached barn that invites restoration with vision and versatility. There has been the improvement of a roomy office space and bathroom. An additional updated area allows for equipment and seasonal storage. Another well-preserved portion of the original hay barn includes a workshop and upper storage area. Zoned for mixed use, there is the opportunity to utilize this property commercially, allowing you to live and work in a location that combines country and convenience. Well situated just steps from the hamlet, you can enjoy living and working with the ease of walking to town—just steps from Otto's Market, specialty shops, Universal Café at The Central House Hotel, and the post office. Ideally located between Amtrak stations in Rhinecliff and Hudson, this Main Street jewel is a rare offering. Many know this area to be an incredible hub for those who enjoy a rural landscape, farm-to-table food, and close access to many offerings in the Hudson Valley. Germantown is a welcoming community with small-town charm where you can live out your country dream.
