The large sixteen-by-thirty foot living room anchors the house at its center with the kitchen to one side and the main floor bedroom and bath to the other. A huge picture window at one end of the living room fills the house with light and overlooks the dining terrace and rear yard. The property includes a small barn and is graced with mature shade trees and is entirely framed by ancient stone walls. Beyond the stone walls this property is surrounded by the forever protected lands of the Huyck Preserve, which includes several thousand acres of woodlands laced with marked hiking trails.
