On a quiet country road in Ghent, ideally located between Hudson and Chatham, sits this light-filled four-bedroom, four-bath modern farmhouse with far-reaching, bucolic views from every window.
Redesigned and slow-renovated from inside and out between 2017 and 2019 by the current owners with the help of a master craftsman builder, the Ghent Modern was transformed to reflect both beauty and practicality in its form and function. A new standing seam metal roof, custom triple pane windows, reclaimed and oiled white oak floors, plenty of storage, eco-friendly low-VOC paints and finishes, electrical systems, plumbing, insulation, heating and cooling units, fiber internet, and all-new top-quality appliances and fixtures are just among the more significant upgrades done in the home.
The heart of the home is the inviting open living area and expansive kitchen designed for a chef who loves to entertain with a beautiful quartz center island. Also on the first floor are two bedrooms, including a master suite and an additional bathroom and mudroom. With another bedroom and full bath on the second floor, and a 4th bedroom, bath, a sizable office, and library on the ground floor, the house feels both spacious and intimate.
The landscape around the house has been reshaped by a gifted landscape designer with sustainable native plantings that attract hummingbirds and butterflies, a fenced organic veggie garden supplying fresh vegetables and herbs from early summer to late fall, raspberry and blueberry bushes, and beautiful flowers to attract pollinators. On just an acre of land, the owners have also managed to create multiple, very private sitting areas outside for enjoying the magical sunsets over the Catskills. A significant portion of the energy used is renewable, supplied by design-sensitive solar panels.
The Ghent Modern is only two hours from New York City and just ten minutes to both Hudson and Chatham. For those looking to enjoy the bounty of the region, this home is less than ten minutes from the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store, Kinderhook Farm, Bartlett House, Love Apple Farm, and just a few minutes away from Art Omi's Art, Sculpture, and Architecture park.
