Description
This home is a perfect representation of the Catskills ideal: a beautifully preserved historic home with a creative modern aesthetic that celebrates the home's history and the landscape that surrounds it. Set amongst the meadows with a mountain backdrop this 1860's farm has been lovingly renovated and beautifully decorated. During the renovation by the Brooklyn-based interior designer, the 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath farmhouse's first floor was reconfigured to improve flow, add modern amenities (a full bathroom, powder rooms and a main bedroom suite), increase access to the outdoors, and capture the views that make Lexington, NY a favorite ofoutdoor enthusiasts,artists, and photographers - set between Hunter, Belleayre and Windham Mountains, Lexington is the Catskill region's best kept secret. While the results of the thoughtful renovation are obvious in the stunning finishes, the soothing wall colors and whimsical wallpaper, others are less conspicuous, like the new HVAC system with an efficient heat pump and air conditioning. The second floor has 2 en suite bedrooms and two additional bedrooms,one of which is currently a delightful bunk room. The screened porch offers a relaxing entre to the outdoors where you'll encounter the farm's most prominent feature; built in the 1840's the 2-story red barn is a gorgeous, pristine example of post and beam construction that can be used in hundreds of different ways. Presently, the lower level is arranged as an entertainment space with games, a bar, and seating areas, while the soaring second floor has been accented with chandeliers and left wide open; it's a rustic ballroom ready for a great party. If you're looking for style, history, and the mountain lifestyle, look no further.
