A 1930 stone residence for the history buffs. Per the listing, Aymar Embury II, who handled a number of the Works Progress Administration projects in New York City, designed this home with stone from a local quarry as part of future Treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr.'s Fishkill Farms estate. FDR was a fan, and the spot became the president's "favored" hunting retreat. It's easy to see why, particularly with the grandeur of original timber beams and the stone mantel and fireplaces, as well as views of the mountains framed by Tudor-style windows. But it's not fusty, with nice modern updates, particularly the Viking appliances in the kitchen.
