"The main house is a spacious three-bedroom, two-bath with all the Inness slash the Henson touches one might expect from a place built in 2024. There are lots of sculptural arches - from the built-ins to the fireplace to the shower. It's serene. The whites are warm and the light is good. The kitchen is all custom cabinetry and the bathroom comes with a Viola marble sink."
"There's a bonus outhouse studio for your mill-inspired art and, of course, a stream in the backyard. How do I get back to the city? It's just under a two-hour drive and quite close to the Patterson Metro North station. So what do I do if I live there? Hop on the Empire State Trail and go for a nice bike ride. Write a novel in your studio. Go slightly feral, à la Die My Love."
"This Shaker-built Colonial from the 1700s is apparently the second-oldest home in Hillsdale, but it's been fully renovated, thank God. The home has retained lovely original details like the 12-over-12 windows and hand-hewn beams while incorporating luxe updates like heated floors and a dishwasher. (The Shakers could never.) There are five bedrooms of varying sizes and three bathrooms. There are also sitting rooms on the first floor with cozy fireplaces."
